NW Ohio,near Findlay | Dan, the Seclect-O-Speed was the jerk o Matic. Everybody called them that. We had one too, a Ford 971 diesel. Under load, plowing, they would stop, then take off. Rolling loads were not too bad upshifting, but don't try to downshift. Then the coasting gears, the ones with the red marks on the selector. Wonder how many accidents they caused in the hills. Can't remember the coasting gear in the middle of the range, believe was 5th.. If baling down hill with grandpa on tractor, look out. OK if slow up with brake, hope to heck grandpa don't downshift going fast down the hill. | |
