06 vs. 56 vs. 66 series shifting

56/66 series are one and the same as well as later 06 series!

This is true; however I just wanted to simplify oem equiptment. My 806 is a first year make and one of the first things I learned was to never to park in an area where there was little movement possible or you might never get the thing in/ out of gear. Temperamental to say the least,but I've found that, like being married, once you ken the powers that be, you know how to work around them!

In Atlantic Canada there are still a lot of oxen around mainly just for show. The coast of Maine also has a very active group. Each year they have the International Ox Pull. It is a home and home series. Many of these teamsters are real actors. Of course unlike tractor pulls they work on who ever can move the highest percentage of their team's own weight. They make a pull, then will add 200 or 400 lbs at the discression of the teamster. They will go until the team can not move it. The other item is the Canadians use the Head Yoke and the Americans use the Neck Yoke. I watched a team one night almost falter on a pull. While the crew were loading more weight, the teamster down on one knee, lectures each ox with a verbal oration you would swear was comming from a law professor at law school. Eye ball to eye ball, and when he was done with the second ox he went back to the first ox and said," You are just like dealing with the missus." Of course the promoters move the microphones right in so as to here all this exchange. After the lecture the ox team pulled the load with 400 lbs added and pulled it with ease. I don't know whether that will work with the 806.
