The original subject was "just a few fordson questions".
We pulled our Major about 100 feet last weekend and what was said about the worm gears now makes sense. It was a bear to get rolling (Yes we had it in neutral), but pulled OK once we got it moving. Only pulled at about 1 mph, if even that. Just had to get to the garage. Drove it about 3 hours later, and so far seems like no damage done. But after reading this, I would be very hesitant to do it again!
