Bob, I know what you mean about needing three hands to shift on the fly on a hand-clutched tractor!! When I was a kid helping Dad put up hay, I would drive his JD 60 pulling the 24T and pull loads to the barn. I got pretty good at shifting on the fly. I would usually start in 4th. since I would usually pull two loads and had a steep hill to go up. Once I got on the level I would grab clutch and throttle down while I shifted into 5th with my left hand and held the steering wheel with my knee. Throttle up to max speed and then do the same thing to shift into 6th. I grew up driving this JD 60 and that is probably why I love the sound of those 2-cylinder JDs.
