I'll agree, we had a 64 4000 that was 10 year old when we got it, was used for mowing on the NYS Thruway, whom was good on maintenance, it still had their emblem under the paint. I ran that tractor for almost 10 years, mowing, baling hay, plowing snow, etc., seasonal work but nonetheless a fair amount of work, especially brushogging, which I did the most of with it. I did not know shite about that trans. either, but it was in excellent shape when we got it, dear ole dads good friend changed the fluid and replaced with the wrong type and she would not move, he was intimidated by the price to repair and it got sidelined, given to a good friend who added it to a row of idle equipment sitting for years, might still be be there, I ought to take a ride and see, loved that tractor, especially the independent PTO and power steering which my 850 does not have, ( well it came with PS but it's unhooked, another project ! ) I will agree that the later S-0-S's, like many other types of components and equipment that require you to learn about the correct maintenance and skills to do the work, an S-0-S transmission will perform, I don't ever recall ours being serviced often, and it never had any problems, can imagine one that is taken care of will provide years of good service.
