I have never owned one, but a neighbor had one that only worked in about half the speeds. Another couple I know has had an SOS Ford for many years and just love it.
I have HEARD that the SOS can work just great, but if it doesn"t, it is hard to find people that know how to work on them and it is also hard and expensive to get replacement parts.
Would I ever buy an SOS equipped tractor? Maybe, if the SOS appears to be working OK. But I would probably only want to pay about half of what a similar tractor with a conventional transmission would bring. If the SOS is not working, I wouldn"t pay much at all--maybe to part it out or change it over to a conventional trans and rear end.
One problem I have noted with the older Fords is that it is hard to get them to go slow enough for some jobs. An SOS tractor might be just right for that kind of job, like snow blowing or roto tilling.
Caution, and if you buy, don"t pay too much. Good luck!
