Found myself a twin to my Dad's old 63 4000 I use all the time. This one is also a 63 but has had a lot harder life then my tractor. Hasn't ran in around 4 years or so and has some very 'different' farmerizing done to the controls as you can see. Probably will wait til it warms up around here before I do too much to check and see what shape it's really in. Figured with the good PA rims, remote valve, and some other parts I can use, the price was right even if something major is shot. I have most of the parts to fix the SOS controls if it does check out OK. It has the DDC tranny so I'm hoping it's in working shape. Greg NE

That was how they shifted the tranny after something went wrong with the original shifter, it is connected to the valve camshaft but seems to be slipping now. Yes, there has been some serious backwoods engineering done here!!! Just hope they didn't FUBAR the control valve. I have another selector to use but not the short cable that screws in the top cover.
 
I think my pal Kenny just made a deal on a 63/4 4000 with SOS. Input shaft or clutch is out is all I know..
He's taking it in trade on a nice 3600. He has a 4 sp w/ Sherman combo + rear end to drop into the 4000.
He will have no use for the SOS, shifter, rear end when he's done. Would sell it pretty cheap.
I'm trying to make a deal on an engine in Lincoln NE.
(If that darned White Halftrack doesn't gouge me too bad, wink)
Maybe we could combine forces and meet in the middle somewhere - you bring my engine and I'll bring the SOS and/or rear end. Or one of us buy the the other some gas to bring it all the way.
It wouldn't work for us till late spring, early summer either but something to ponder.
