My dad purchased a 350ute in 1957. It has seen continuous use using the TA 4 or 5 times per round in the field plowing, mowing, bushhoging, and snow plowing with a 9' 2/3-1/3 vplow. The tractor has had a set of dome pistons and big bore sleeves and one clutch. We have never had the TA apart. It has never slipped. It has only required minor adjustments throughout its life. It is a time and equipment saving device. Preventing the lugging of the engine in tough pulling clay knobs. In addition the clutch and gearbox are treated to fewer full power stops and starts with the plow in the ground. Last item: when using road gear starting with the TA back, then going to direct when up to speed saves a crunchy shift from 4th to 5th, (Fifth is a narrow toothed easily ruined gear in the trans).
Id put it in operation with what ever the effort/expense it takes. We had no one tell us anything about the TA when the tractor was new, and the only caution was to not let the tractor go more than 1/3 faster than the direct ground speed in any gear when the TA was back. We used the thing mercylessly. My Bro has a 400 its TA went out about a year ago (one way clutch) it will be fixed this summer. Gotta have it.
