Hello, I am looking at purchasing a 4 cylinder, 1963, Ford 2000 with a Select-o-Speed. The tractor is in very good condition, runs very well, and is very fair price, but I am worried about the s-o-s
transmission. My research has indicated the the the later models )i.e. transmission casing C3NN) were much better than the earlier models. I have verified this particular tractor has the C3NN s-o-
s transmission. I have also read that parts are rare and expensive., but if you regularly change the oil, and keep the bands adjusted it should work well.
I have no experience with adjusting bands. Can some one tell me if it a hard task to adjust the bands and perform maintenance on this transmission. Do I need any special tools?
Worst case could I simply swap out the transmission for a standard gear drive transmission or would that be problematic.
Any advice and recommendations you could provide will be appreciated. Thank you!
