Thanks for all the good feedback on yesterdays post and the different philosophys on auctions. I am no Virgin to farm auctions and know all the risks but this was definitly a case where the auctioneer did a bit of over selling.

Anyhow I warmed up the unit with a propane heater and let her run for a half hr and then took to the road.

The guys that suggested oil viscosity may be on to the problem, I went thru every gear powering thru the brakes to apply load. She would start in low range and always shift to high. I would then apply braking and shift to low range and she would intermittenly Not shift to low especially in low gear.

I dont have a manual as yet but if any of you guys have some suggestions on where to check oil levels and adjustment procedures I would appreciate it. My EM is open if you want to send anything direct.

Is it characteristic for these units to "miss" a shift now and then or is this the begining of the End.

What it may be is a TA that badly needs adjustment, which is going to be trashed if you keep running it as is. As has been observed by Hugh and others many times on this board, these old TAs work well and last a long time if you keep them properly adjusted and don't freewheel in low range - however, they can be destroyed quickly if not operated and/or adjusted properly. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be very many people who know how to do the adjustment properly; of those I've seen at auctions, probably 75 percent or more have obviously been improperly adjusted.

What I'd seriously suggest that you do is park it until you get the Operators Manual (Binder Books) which will tell you in great detail how to do the adjustment. But it's your tractor. Good luck.
