Ford 2N Clutch Question

I can set my throttle to 3/4 and shift gears without grinding so long as my ground speed is zero. That means I can set the throttle and forget it while I work.
Mowing, I can leave the throttle set at 3/4 and stop to shift to high or reverse or engage the pto or whatever. I just operate the clutch, shifter, brake and steering while I mow leaving the throttle where I set it in the barnyard. I might not touch the throttle until I get back into the barnyard after 4 hours of mowing. Same when I'm blading the lane, set the throttle before I shift into gear and leave it alone until I'm done. Well, if I road it I usually pull it to full throttle but I don't road it much.
Shifting can be near impossible if you don't have an ORC while running a bush hog, btw.

I was talking about zero ground speed! Start it and try to put in gear to back out of barn.

I call it "restored" because I had someone re-build it for me and have had way too many initial (less than 1 hour use) problems!

Keep inmind that there are two types of sherman shifters. The bent 'dog leg' units for the combo.. and the straight thin shafts ( like athick round pencil.. and a round ball on top )

Here's a pic of mine.. it is an overdrive unit.. yours similar?
