Anytime you mention S.O.S tranny the first thing anybody comments is always negative. Why is that?
Most of the comments don't seemed based on fact, just heresay...

It's true there were problems with them when new, but that was over 50 years ago. Maybe it's conceivable to say, "stay away from the '59 and 60 model years" then to lump ALL S.O.S equipped tractors in. I'm not sure that's even fair, as I'd have to think that most of the problems encountered then were fixed.

As for the tractor in question, the fact that it was one family owned is enough for me. Even so, just being 1 owner doesn't mean it's had regular service. It probably needs some maintenance (TLC), but then what 50 year old tractor doesn't?I would check it out like any old tractor. If it all works and the price is right whats the problem?

I'd love to have a 971 diesel to park along side my 871 diesel!
