Funny...well, not really...that you posted about tractor jumping outta gear at the wrong time/place. Just yesterday I was coming straight down a "farm road" hill with my '63 4000 Ford pulling a trailer load of wood. Was in 4th gear...no added throttle...and enjoying the sound of the motor "popping and crackling" and NOT going fast. About midway down the hill, she jumped outta gear and suddenly picked up speed. Brakes are just about totally non-functioning and were "useless". At the bottom of the hill, had to make a turn...and was seriously debating whether to bail off or what. Luck was with me and NO jack knife...only threw off a couple chunks of wood. Did the same size load today, but kept my hand on the stick...NO PROBLEM at all. WHY did it jump outta 4th gear (5spd up/down trans. shifter) which is seldom used??
Glad your years of experience kept you outta trouble also.
