FordFarmer steered me onto about a 66 4000 with a bad SOS to be auctioned. We have a 3000 6 speed tranny/rear end here that we can't seem to sell. So I was wondering about dropping it in place of that bad SOS. I know the output shaft on a 3000 would be slower as the rear end is only single reduction. I'm wondering how much slower. Would a guy have a tractor that would run 8-9 miles an hour? Or would it be slower than that? I think a slow tractor would still have some value for draft work, etc. But if it would only go 4-5 miles an hour that would be no good. Where would a guy look to compare those output ratios? We do have the 3000 flywheel and single clutch to go with the 6 speed. Anyone know if the 3000 splined coupler would fit on the SOS pinion shaft? Could cut and weld that too I guess. What other surprises would a guy find? PTO shaft too short? I know it's kind of a Jerry Rig deal but if a guy could make the old tractor be productive again it might be worth while. Just reuse the side pump and lines from the SOS. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
