Is that the New Process/New Venture transmission? I had two NP-435's in F-150's, had problems with synchro's in both, was NOT going to buy another NP. Ford fixed that for me, the ZF-5-47 in my '96 F-250 PSD has been great, 312,000 miles and still shifts like new. Replaced the dual mass clutch around 250,000 and three oil/fluid changes is ALL that's ever been done to it in 24 years. Truck was my daily driver for 9 years, 32,000 to 35,000 miles/year. Was the go-to vehicle when we got BIG snowstorms. I've towed heavy a couple times, even with 3.55 gears can idle away from a stop in 2nd gear. Stock rating of 210-215 hp and I was impressed with the way it ran.
I've seen what some people do to little trucks. One day I was working for my buddy helping harvest potatoes, driving truck from farm to field, load along side Harvester, and return. 3 guys show up with s real nice '73 F-350, combination grain/livestock box & hoist. They load 100 bags of spuds, 100# bags. 10,000# in a truck with maybe 5000# capacity over it's empty weight. I had a 25 mile drive home. I had a rough set of railroad tracks to go over about 6-7 miles from home, then stop sign and right turn. Right after the turn there sits that F-350, left rear wheels broke off flush with the oil seal, full floating rear axle, so THAT took a lot. Brake drum, axle flange and both wheels/tires bolted together missing. 2 of the 3 guys scratching their heads. Down the road almost quarter mile the third guy is rolling the tires back to the truck. A BIG truck you can push the load limit a bit, little trucks, NO. I put 3800# in my '78 F-150 with 9 Inch rear axle. I would NOT do that again, I would NOT put that in my F-250! They make bigger trucks for a reason.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
