I was moving a small tractor yesterday (4600 ford) on a 24 foot trailer. My truck is a 1995 dodge 1 ton 4x4 (Cummins) with an automatic transmission with about 40,000 on the trans. When I was going to get the tractor with trailer empty the truck did fine. After I loaded and began driving I noticed that when I stopped the rpms would run up and the truck would take off but it would take awhile to get going (trans slip in first) After I got up to second gear and beyond it did fine. when I got to my driveway I had to almost stop to make the turn and go up a hill. the truck would not pull up the hill. the trans temp gauge went up pretty high at that time also. I then put the automatic shifter in 1st gear position and it pulled up the hill like normal. I unloaded and let the trans temp go down, took the trailer home and it did fine all the way. I have heard that these transmissions are weak, but why did it pull when I shifted it manually?

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
