Ok I had saturday and sunday off work so made plans to ride with my son but got called in Saturday so I planed the ride for sunday. Well got called in again for an emergency run but had about 3 hours to play. So I got the attex 208tt out to play on some ice with my 6 yr old son. In these little adventures I bring my tool box full of every tool plus some and spare gas and rope and all kinds of things bought everything but a spare trans
. Well I was like what seemed like miles but not really, on the ice with like 5-6" of snow and the bakerhill 7000 transmission got knocked out of gear, I first though my son bumped it. Went to move the lever and it was in gear already. 
Took off again fine and later on it did it again. So I put it in reverse and went back to forward and it was like neutral, everywhere. Played with it alittle for like 10min and got it back and went like 30ft and nothing again. After awhile of messing time was getting few so I took the chains of to push it easier back to my truck. I went like 40ft and was like dying of heart attack already. The snow and lack of traction for me to push was not helping. I mean I kept falling down trying to push because my feet would slide instead of the attex moving. It sucked even worse because I was pressured for time. I have never missed or even been late for work, so I am freakin. Oh yea also, in desperation I thought maybe my brother could rescue me but I just then relized i dont have my phone.
I couldnt even call my boss if I do run late. I had nothing else to do but keep chugging along..........and then 2 ice fisherman saw me and came to help. What a relief? I couldnt thank them guys more. I could barely talk I was so tire when I saw them. If I where a rich man I would of shared my wealth with them. lol. But seriously I was so happy I thanked them several time and was really glad to see people as nice as them still around. They where like us 6x6 guys. I mean the stupid guy on the quad and the other guy on the snowmobile never even stopped. Who I believe also cut of the snowmans head off we made on the lake earlier. Anyway I did make it on time to work so all is good there.
Well I'm hoping it must be something with the linkage internally. Hopefully something I can engineer myself or replace a pin or something. Maybe a shift fork bent or ?? I dont really know intile I tear into it because I have no idea whats inside. The gears I believe are fine so thats a plus because that is way beyond my skill,. Its just there not engaging so thats probably a plus. I got it out today and sitting on my bench. Getting a bearing puller tomarrow. Maybe if I take pictures I could start my own article for the baker hill.
