DR. EVIL My Ford was just a straight 6000. I actually had few issues with it other than it would not start well when it was cold. I knew little about electric block heaters at that time so I never figured out one for it. I would heat the motor up with a space heater when it was real cold. At the time I was feeding a lot of hogs so I ran that Ford on the grinder/mixer just about every day.
The thing with a Ford SOS is to understand what they are doing. When they are shifting two packs at once they will shift hard. IF you use the inching pedal during that shift it smooth it out. I also tried to never shift those gears under heavy load.
What that Ford 6000 did do was make me hate Ford's parts system. Next day was unheard of. Next week was more like it normally was. Plus the fact that even though the Ford 6000 was a 1964 model and I bought it in the mid 1970s many parts where not available already for it. It was barely ten years old at the time. I never even considered a Ford tractor after that for one of my serious working tractors.
My other tractor at that time was a JD "G". I could get just about anything I wanted or needed for it even with it being 30 years old at the time.
