Am looking for a tractor and recently looked at a reconditioned Super A and a late 60's 140.

I drove all sorts of As, Super As, 100s, 130s and my Dad's 140 thirty years ago, and while I ground my share of gears, I am perplexed at how bad the gear grinding was on these two tractors. There were shifts that moved into gear smoothly and other shifts where the grinding was flat out terrible. A week ago someone posted about using heavier viscosity oil in gearboxes as a means of slowing the spinning gears. It that what's happening with these tractors or have they always been gear grinders and its my 30 - 40 year old memory that's got bad synchronizers?
