Paging Larry Texas or Tony. Or anyone that is familiar with SOS's. My father is working on a 3cyl 1966 SOS 4000. The SOS works in all gears and shifts really well, but when I pulled the pto nothing happened. The transmission was making a wierd noise like a dry bearing or the sound of a dry tach cable. I cleaned the cable and oiled it but still noise. I was getting pretty worried, but then noticed that there was a lever ahead and below my left foot as sitting which the manual states is a two speed pto lever. I moved it and the noise went away and the pto works fine, but when I put the pto lever at my foot back in neutral it makes the noise again. If I leave it engaged it makes no noise whether or not the pto t handle is pulled. Otherwise works flawlessly so just keep it in pto, but? It sounds like if I found a place to lubricate it would take care of it. Just seeing how you would approach this or if you would worry about it. Second. The SOS handle is on the left side of the shifter and I would like to move it to the right, but it doesn't come off easy. The acorn on the right does. Any tricks to this? Third. The numbers that tell you which gear you are in are partly worn off. Is there a decal for this?
Last. I will do the maintenance on it with a new filter and good quality oil, but is there anything in the shifter that I should lubricate like the shifter cable to make sure we dont have problems.
