Brian: I am not a particularly smart guy, certainly no genius. I had to milk my own 100 cows as I was never smart enough to hire a good herdsman. I found it quite easy to hire tractor operators. The result is I did very little wrenching during my farming days. Local mechanics or dealer did most of that way back in those days. Did my share of adjustment and everyday maintenence, but major rebuilds were shipped off to specialists.
I remember the first time a Farmall rear end or transmission locked up on me. It was Farmall 300 and was close to 45 years ago. Didn't take me long to figure out that the old 300 was in two gears, and as soon as I pulled the shift lever it wasn't hard to see why. End of that shift lever somewhat resembled a cole chisel or large screwdriver. Loader work wears the shift lever much faster than field work. It doesn't take a very bright individual to figure out it should not be towed.
I've been around YT for 8 years now, have become a decent judge of who can be helped and who can't be helped. Just a few min ago, Jeff posted and thinks he's ruled out the two gear theory, I'm not satisfied he's right. Then who knows what the tow job might have done. I'm sorry, but I just don't have a lot of patience for shear stupidity.
