I have been on and off again trying to get my Dad's 66 5000 back up and going again, long story. It has been setting for too long and I have alot of memories running this tractor as I was growing up. We parked it back in the late 80's when the SOS started to act up and the shop said it had low oil preasure in the tranny and it could be several things, some not too bad but others big $$. I have it running good again so I can finally take readings off the three servos to see if I can narrow down what is wrong. This is what I found, I have preasure in all the right gears at the right servos but they are all around 150lbs with the inching pedal out except for R2 and R1 which is around 210lbs and 9 and 10 are around 130lbs and I can tell the tranny is trying to lock up so I don't leave it there for only a short time. However if I push the inching pedal down I get right at 220lbs in all the right places. I am kind of guessing on the 800rpm of the engine as the tack is not working at this time so I might be a little high. I think I have a leak somewhere after the control valve but not sure where. My shop manual doesn't really say anything about this happening in all the gears just certain ones. Sorry for long post but wanted to try and explain what was going on the best I could and am hoping one of you SOS gurus out there may have run into this problem before and can maybe aim me in the right direction. thanks in advance Greg NE
