    So I did some more testing when I got home based off what a fella told me.

    He told me that it could still be the electronics side of things even though I hear it vent air. It's venting air off the low side but still not activating the high.

    So I crawled under there and had dad inside and unplugged one of the solenoids and had him change ranges. The one solenoid still connected actuated. Decided that one was the low side.

    Unplugged it and plugged in the other. Had him flip the switch back up and nothing.

    Took the volt meter to it and no power going to that pigtail.

    So that narrows it down to either the neutral safety switch or the shift handle its self.

    There's a tool to diagnose the handle but I don't have one. Other option is to replace it all together or to try the neutral switch first and if that doesn't fix it change the handle.

    I agree
    pulling a grain wagon you are going to be in a field loaded heavy at least once a year (in my experience) and you can use those 5 extra gears to ease torturing of your driveline and rear ends.

    Are you referring to Shaun Cassidy from the old Hardy Boys TV show? If so, I think you’re right.

    I originally wanted a 13 but I've been considering an 18 more and more since it's likely not going to be much difference in price anyway.

    I could get away with keeping the 10 I have now because most of where I run now is flat lands but with wanting to put it otr I'd like to have the ability to split gears on a hill so I have wanted a 13 ever since we had the 9200 and I ran into the hilly parts of the state.

    But like I said having to replace to get the 13 I might as well go all out and get the 18
