We are in the middle of restoring a Ford 971. We have the entire SOS torn down and our input shaft is on its way back from John Smith. While going throught the SOS we found pieces of a bearing race in the bottom. While inspecting gears, thrust washers, clutches, shafts, valve unit ect... we have yet to find anything wrong. The previous owner said the tractor just locked up on him. Well it appears as though the SOS has been rebuilt fairly recent. The pieces of the bearing race we found were not from any bearing throught the tranny. So we came to the conclusion that someone rebuilt it and adjusted the bands incorrectly and gave up. Can we be this lucky? I hope so. There is very little wear shown, The worst was the input shaft as it was about half way worn down. Now we dont have to worry because we will have the hex rather than the spline thanks to John. The good thing was once those bearing races broke they fell straight down. There is no damage whatsoever on any gear sets.
Now is there any thing I should pay really close attention to that I havent already checked on?

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
