Had to look in the parts manual. The knob has threads on the bottom that fit into the recess in the valve.
CRS. Been some time but the knob was missing on my 154 when I purchased it. I used a bolt, nut, large washer to replace the knob. The valve was also stuck when I purchased the tractor. I used the previously described method to free up the valve. The diverter valve didn't leak and worked once I freed it up.

Eugene,
Alright, Thanks. I will look into that. Once it warms up, its (-2 degrees) right now, I will take it off and soak it in PB Blaster.
Thanks again

No need to remove the valve to try and free it up.ihcc104 wrote:Once it warms up, its (-2 degrees) right now, I will take it off and soak it in PB Blaster.

Yes I know, but this is on a parts tractor anyways, I will be pulling it off regardless

Re: 184 SELECTOR VALVE rebuild needed asap
rust isn't always what it holding them.......in your case it could be, but smart idea to remove it to work on it, in my case the rubber o-ring had bulged and was preventing it from movingihcc104 wrote:Eugene wrote:No need to remove the valve to try and free it up.ihcc104 wrote:Once it warms up, its (-2 degrees) right now, I will take it off and soak it in PB Blaster.

I hope that it is just the O-Rings, not rust.

Re: 184 SELECTOR VALVE rebuild needed asap
if it's rust heat it up with a hand held torch and pb blaster it and take the c clips off, at least my 184 had c clips and tap on it with a punch and hammer.ihcc104 wrote:I hope that it is just the O-Rings, not rust.

Re: 184 SELECTOR VALVE rebuild needed asap
Got it off and got it freed up pretty well. Had to tap the top, the threads for the knob were basically gone, but it seems to work well, a couple O-Rings, and it should be good
Are these as rare as people make them out to be? I see a couple listings on e-bay for 180-225, claiming them to be really rare

I don't think they are rare, but they don't get separated from a tractor often.
You can buy a knockoff from Surplus Center, but it doesn't come with the mounting bracket or the fittings.
