The 971 was made through 1962 and then was replaced with the thousand series. Ford introduced the DDC SOS in Jan of 1963 so you may have answered your own question. I have no idea of your expertise in the field of Ford SOS transmission repair. If you're not a world-class expert in that regard it would be a good idea to identify someone who is. I have the name of a highly regarded SOS mechanic with plenty of spare parts but it would take me some time to find it. I know of a couple of guys in Mosinee, WI who are pretty good at it but they're getting older and I believe they are trying to sell their place. Other than that I have nothing to offer but my best wishes for your endeavor. I should add, my father and I tried out a brand new SOS Gold Demo 871 in 1959 on our Wisconsin dairy farm. The dealer had that tractor weighted to the maximum with NaCl and cast iron and equipped with a three bottom 14 mounted plow. The tractor did fairly well in heavy red clay alfalfa sod which would have been tough for any tractor of that day. We were impressed by the tractor's performance but didn't fully trust the dependability of that new transmission and decided not to buy. How right we were. For further info read about Harold Brock.
