They where not that bad of a transmission. They just brought them out too soon. The owners never knew how to run them or maintain them. You just did not shift some gears while pulling hard. Some of the gears where shifting two packs at once. Those you did not want to do while pulling hard. 9-10 up and down worked fine. 8 to 9 you should clutch. 7-8 would shift smooth. 5&6 would shift fine at all times. 4 to 5 needed to clutch. The lower four could be shifted fine.
I ran mine for over 15 years. I put 5-6 thousand hours on it. I never had anything other than regular maintenance repairs. I did change the transmission oil and filter every 200 hours. I adjusted the bands then too. I also made sure the transmission cooler was clean. When we were plowing I blew it out every morning.
I really wish I had kept mine. I bought it for $2000 in 1974 while home on leave. I sold it in 1990 for $1500. They will bring more than that now as the collectors are looking for them.
