I just got a 1967 Ford 4000 Diesel. First tractor and many questions, I will start a new topic for each to keep to one topic.
I have downloaded the manual for my tractor but do not understand about the 8 speed dual lever transmission. When sitting in the seat I have left side a taller stick (High?) and right side a short stick (low?) I understand both have to be in neutral for the tractor to crank. But this is what I have, the left stick is very loose movement when in neutral, but the right short stick does not have near the slack or play when in neutral... is this normal?
The right short stick seem to go to only 2nd - straight up and Reverse straight back. I can not get it to go left = 1st or right and up to 4th. If it only has the 2nd low I may can live with it as I will use the tractor to drap the road and go slow.
I don't understand how the dual transmission works.
When I do use the short sick and put it in 2nd it does not go. I have to engage the left tall stick into a gear before the tractor will move and the same with the tall stick, if it is in gear and the short stick in not in gear, the tractor will not move. So it seems both sticks have to be engaged for it to work.... is this correct ?

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
