Can't find my earlier thread on this issue so we'll start over...
I've got a 65 3500 w/ loader and backhoe. It sat for better than 10 years due to getting water in the bores after a partial head job and I bought it as a project tractor from a man who had bought it broke and never actually seen it running. Did a full rebuild and it runs well but now I'm having trans problems in some gears.
Specifically, it does not not move properly in R2 and several of the fwd gears. I was advised on this board to do a pressure test and band adjustment as a first step and have finally completed that. The hydraulic pressures on all 3 servo circuits were within spec and bands 2 & 3 adjusted properly but band was did not.
When you tighten the band 1 adjusting screw it never gets tighten even screwing it in flush with the trans case surface. There is no resistance to tightening either. I surmise that either the band is broken or some sort of a connecting link is not in there correctly.
Anyone seen this before? Is it possible to get to the band / supports through the top of the case or would I have to pull and tear down the trans?
Would it cause any damage to use the trans with band 1 not working? I can't see how it would but want to make sure. I don't hear any rattling or abnormal noises that make me think it's rubbing or in a position to cause damage in there.

I've heard the arguments for non-detergent oils but would never trade it for today's formulations. Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
