1969 gas ford 4400 with selectospeed
Finally getting to do some maintenance on this tractor trying to get it ready for spring/summer. It had 2 issues that i wanted to get fixed.
1) R1 would engage very suddenly couldn't get it to slowly move
2) 5th would hesitate significantly before engaging
I adjusted the bands per the manual band 1 was pretty close, 2 was a little loose, and 3 was way to tight. Then when i tried to drive the tractor R1 along with a few other gears wouldn't engage. I tightened band 3 about 2 turns and that got all of the gears working again then fine tuned band 3 more until i could use all gears reasonably functioning.
However R1 still engages to hard (but better than before) and 5th still lags (atleast 3-4 seconds before engaging and then engages very softly)
looking for some input on possible causes
pressure measured at servo #1 was about 15 psi low from manual. Didn't measure the rest, thats probably my next step along with adjusting the valve block to restore proper pressure per manual.
Any guidance would be appreciated, from what i saw it seemed that band 3 was the problem child.
