I did a partial rebuild on my F504 TA 12-15 years ago, really I need to replace it. I also put in a new TA clutch. Mine works most of the time and can put a load on it. I think where I may have caused my wear was pulling a 4yd Reynonlds scraper with a 50hp tractor in 1st TA. I needed 100hp. My TA has absolutly no engine braking and will pick up speed downhill.
Dude, if I were you I would throttle down, when slowed to idle, clutch down, use the brakes, and stop while in DD. Then put it in 3rd or 4th when stopped (mine argues when shifted on the fly) then get going, once moving clutch down and shift into 5th, then pull back on the TA, then release the clutch. Build speed in 5th TA, then go into 5th DD. Its like driving a split axle truck.
It sounds like a lot, but it is really instinctive after you become comfortable with the do's and don't of a TA. If it seems to be freewheeling then put it in DD! NEVER USE AS A BRAKE! The gear reduction it provides to the wheels turns into gear overdrive to the transmission while freewheeling.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
