I recently bought a 960 Ford 5 speed live pto. The tractor has been setting up for quite some time. I have issues I am dealing with of which I expected.
My question is to anyone who may have one of these tractors. The transmission sounds like an old 4 wheel drive truck in granny gear especially in reverse.
I have an 51 model 8N and it does not do this. Is this normal? All fluids have been changed.
 
Thanks to all who replied. Rear end has 85 -90 wt. Just put in 85-140 in transmission to see if it would quite it.
 
I have a 860 Ford live Pto tractor. I am replacing clutch and transmission input seals. Seal busted and flooded clutch with transmission oil. I am replacing a cracked input seal retainer.
The problem I have is with bearing retainer behind the input seal retainer. I broke its gasket and I cannot get bearing retainer to come out. The only thing I can think of is to clean metal on housing and bearing retainer while it is still hooked up and put Black RTV gasket maker behind it. I have about one half inch clearance.
Do any of you have any ideas?

BR860, it sounds like you need to go into the transmission.
 
I have an old 4000 4 cylinder. It was quiet. I changed all the fluids, put the utf tractor supply in, now it whines.
Try thicker fluid.
