On the 2090 Case. Finally got the 2090 in for some long overdue repair on the clutch. Its been draggy and hard to shift most of this year as more of those bellville washers in the clutch kept breaking. At $40 each they are pretty expensive and it takes 27 of them. A bit of video from today as I inspected it.

Sounds like your mechanic is familiar with the inside of those tractors. One thing I have noticed is the fellas that know how to fix these older tractors are themselves older and most have retired. I dont like the idea of paying a young guy to learn how to fix
 
I hate paying $100 an hour tuition for young kids to learn how to fix my 1985 EFI goldwing motorcycle and Kaw mule.

I went to the dealer and asked if they would order me a shop repair manual. They cost me around $100 each.

My dad bought a 1960 Ford 6000. The SOS was junk.
I will never buy any ford with SOS. Most of those mechanics have retired or died. I hear the parts are very expensive too.
 
Doesn't really apply, but local Case-IHC dealer used to have a kid, He and I got in argumant once, he insisted fine thread lock-nuts and coarse-thread lock-nuts were the same, you just had to tighten them down a little harder. No longer there.
 
OK, who can fix the ford SOS and not cost an arm and leg?
How many old Ford repairmen and parts are still around?

You are right. This mechanic is a little younger than me and has worked on Case tractors and all sorts of other farm equipment since the early 1970s. The fact that he is my brother is also a big deal for me.
 
muleman51. That is a big ..SUPPOSEDLY.. my understanding is that the main engineer who developed the transmission went to work at Deere after he left Ford or was fired from there. He had told the Ford higher ups that the SOS transmission was not quite ready for production but they put it in tractors anyway. I have nothing to verify this but I believe it to be more accurate than your statement. After writing the above I did a little searching and I did find the attached post that has quotes from a book that I feel supports what I am saying fairly well.

Sounds like the idiot young service manager at a Chevy dealership in the town where my wife used to work. She called me and said the water pump was leaking right there in the parking lot. I told her to take it to the dealer and have it changed. The dumbas put it on with no gaskets. We all know how that went. I went right down there and had a talk with him. He said it ''It's a machined surface, it doesn't need gaskets.''.
 
I don't think they were ever cheap to repair. As a child in the 1970s I recall lots of repairs being made in our old machine shed because no way the old man was going to pay somebody shop rates by the hour that he wasn't supervising.

Worst case was an old GAS 815 combine with a 345(?) V8 engine - dad did pay IH dealership to rebuild the engine. It was running OK but was burning massive amounts of oil and a little low on HP. We got it back and that engine never ran right again. Once it warmed up and went under load the engine would cut out and miss - stop the combine and let it catch up and it would clear its throat and run wide open like it should then when you put it back under load it would cut out and miss again with no power. Dealership did everything they could to keep from opening up the engine redoing their overhaul. That combine was parked that fall and never run again except the day it was sold at auction. That was at the height of the farm crisis in the early 80s and there wasn't a dime of extra money - especially not for repairs that didn't actually happen.
 
In the Cummins 855 book, in the torque tables, section 14 to be exact, fine threaded fasteners are always higher torque than coarse threaded. Two grade 8 all metal lock nuts , one fine and one coarse, are indeed the same apart from the torque.
 
Figure that one out. Quite a few Ford SOS postings over the years have dedicated followings on both sides of the isle....good/pice of junk. I had an early 60's 4 cyl. 4000 that was worn but worked as it should. The band adjusting screws were almost all the way in but I had enough apparently to get good reliable shifting under load.

I had a '79 ( as I recall) JD 4320 with 2 gear PS....hit the end of a row: Hit the lever, it drops a gear, make the turn, hit the lever and back to plowing speed, and it was solid as a rock, no clutch no nothing but hitting the shifter lever. Really a handy convenience.
 
I heard it as Henry Ford went on Vacation, and the people next in line released it and when Henry came back he fired the mechanics and others,!!!! Old Henry Ford was a smart guy,but i bought very few ford products myself.!!!
 
Yes, he was on vacation in heaven from 1947 to 1959 when the SOS was introduced.......

To give those eggineers hell.
