I own a '44 Case SC and am normally on that board. However, the extended family farms with IH and I have worked ground with all of the following: 300U, 460U, 574U, 656, 656 Hydro, 706, 886, 1066, 1206, 1466. Now here is how you shift the 8 speed (4 hi/lo) IH transmissions into reverse: Clutch tractor and attempt shift, cuss, clutch tractor again and attempt shift, cuss some more, with clutch depressed rev engine RPM and re-attempt shift, now cuss loudly at the tractor and call it profane names, take deep breath and relax a little, idle down and depress clutch, shift tractor into low range and creep forward 1.5 feet, re-attempt shift into reverse (will work 50% of the time), if will not go into gear now cuss loudly while jumping up and down on the operator platform, rev engine RPM and idle back down, shift tractor into hi range and creep forward 1.5 feet, now it will shift into reverse everytime. And you are right - it won't ever jump out of gear! If you get it in two gears at once the tractor will not move and now the rest of the family will cuss at you for screwing up the 30 year old tractor while trying to get the crop out.
