I wasn't part of the "We all know you are correct as to how everyone shifts them". I bought my truck with a 15 speed tranny and initially thought I'd have to clutch every gear. Was I happy when I was told how you shift it.
I don't remember on double clutching but I was aware that some non-synchronous trannys required it. I rented a "combination" to get my Class A and took the Haz Mat written test.

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
