A lot of people talk about how hard it is to shift the bigger IH transmissions on the go. I'm talking of 56,66,86 series. Maybe it's just because I'm used to the tractors, and I have replaced all of the shifting pieces in them to keep them right, but I don't seem to have a problem with them. I drive them like a pickup with a manual. Depending on what I'm doing, but sometimes you can just take off in 3 HI no problem if a light load is behind you, but if you're pulling a heavy load and starting out heading uphill, I'll start in 1st or 2nd HI, then just throttle it up to speed with the hand throttle, pull it back quick, push the clutch down 1/3 of the way and float it into the next gear, then let the clutch back out and throttle it it back up again. Do that through whatever gear I have to start out in until I get to 4 HI. I don't grind the gears, that drives me nuts. However, if you miss a shift doing it like that, it takes a little longer to feel it out to what gear and throttle you need to be in to get it back in gear.

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.
