When combined with your other post, it sounds like you bought a used tractor despite the fact it had these problems. A 1997 JD1070 will likely be a hydrostat machine, so the "gear" issue you describe is most likely the range select lever. Should be a High and a Low at minimum, perhaps a Mid in between. It's not a shift-on-the-fly mechanism, the tractor has to be completely stopped when first attempting the shift between ranges. Helps to have a foot on the brakes as well.

As I stated in the other post, more info is needed regarding the rear lift arms.
