Description

When your Ford tractor won’t shift smoothly between high and low ranges, that 62-inch transmission cable is probably stretched, frayed, or stuck. You know the feeling—you’re trying to shift from low to high range for road transport, and the lever just won’t cooperate. This cable connects your shift lever to the transmission’s high-low selector, and when it fails, you’re stuck crawling down county roads at field speed.

What You’re Getting

Precise 62-inch (1570mm) length cable designed specifically for Ford 40 series transmissions
Cable-only design without actuator for direct replacement of worn cables
Durable construction that handles the constant push-pull action of range shifting
Direct fit for both 5640 and 8340 models with the same transmission setup

Built for Real Farm Work

This cable fits Ford New Holland 40 series tractors, specifically the 5640 and 8340 models that came with dual-power transmissions. These mid-range workhorses are popular on farms running everything from hay equipment to row-crop planters, where smooth shifting between field and transport speeds keeps the day moving.

Made to Last

Farm cables take a beating from heat, vibration, and constant use. This replacement is built to handle the demanding environment under your tractor’s hood, with proper cable construction that won’t stretch prematurely or bind up when you need it most.

Installation Notes

This is the cable-only version—if your actuator is also worn out, you’ll want part number 409663 instead, which includes both cable and actuator. Before installing, check that your existing mounting points are clean and properly lubricated for smooth operation.
