Abstract
A gear change mechanism for a tractor is designed so that a single shift lever only is used both for gear and 'Hi-lo' selection. When the lever is in a gear selected position, it can be swung sideways, bringing with it its associated pivotally mounted shift lever quadrant (12) to make the 'Hi-lo' change. A stop (26, 26a) is provided to prevent such a change in neutral.
