I asked a question in the AC section about the Allis Chalmers WD45 jumping out of gear when going down a hill - but thought I'd broaden the question to Tractor Talk.
Of the tractors made, say prior to 1980, any particular models that over time have a tendency to jump out of gear?
We have hills and I have concerns about buying, as an example, a WD45 and turning one of my kids loose driving down (moderate) hills with a baler, haybine or trailer attached and the tractor popping out of gear on them.
On the reverse side, what tractors had GREAT brakes? Our old Ford 3000 would lock-up the rear wheels in a flash. My old MF50 has brakes, but not nearly as good as the Ford - but do get the job done, just not great brakes. I've never had either tractor jump out of gear.
So what tractor models have a tendency over time to jump out of gear and which old tractors just had GREAT brakes? Oliver, Farmall, Deere, others?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
