I just purchased a 1963 Ford 4000 SOS, 4cyl gas.

In good shape, but trans is leaking. I have to tow this about 5 miles. I read somewhere to disengage the transmission by moving a lever? somewhere?

I don't want to drive it until I have diagnosed the leak & an overheating issue. Haven't bought the manual yet, and it is in a remote location so I don't have immediate access to it. I have to go in & get it out in short order - Thanks, TJ

Any help is appreciated.

You may have to rock the tractor a bit to get it to disengage. The lever doubles as a handle, and will hold it in either position.

Yes, there is a lever, lower left side of trans ???? on there somewhere, to disengage, best let others comment on towing one of these, think it's safe once you move that lever, it'll just skid until you do that. I remember this from the last time I ran our S-0-S, it quit, dads friend changed the fluid, but put the wrong type back in, long story there, but it stopped in the wrong darned place at one of our shows and I could not figure out how to move it, till I found that lever, was like a boat anchor.
