I had a 69 f-800 tandem with a auto in it (believe it was a allison).. I hauled 300 bushels on mine (all the higher my little combine could reach over the sides.. I cut a foot off of em)
I ran to the elevator with the foot on the floor.. 54 mph loaded, 58 mph empty seemed to be the best it would do.. so I just stayed off the expressway and took county roads. It was geared really low.. would crawl its way through a lot..
I had air brakes.. and loaded they worked good.. really touchy when the truck was empty though.. if your foot was on the brake and you hit a bump that moved your foot on the pedal you'd likely eat the steering wheel.
My grandpa bought the old girl used in 79, and I bought it from him in 2002 or 2003.. The 2 of us never had a tranny problem.. I had a drip from the output seal, but sitting the better part of a year it wouldn't drip out even a pint. Driving it would drip a little more, but still nothing serious.
Wish I would have kept the old girl when I gave up tryin to farm.
