The post 1965 3 cylinder engined model 2000's were an economy price leader model back when new. A lot of them only had the 4 speed transmission, non-Live PTO, and no power steering, or differential lock - although these things could be upgraded as options. However, many people simply opted to go with the 3000 instead of adding the options to the 2000 as many of these features were standard on the 3000. (The 2000 and 3000 use the same engine)
I agree that the 4 speed tranny is way too fast in both 1st gear and reverse for my liking. My MIL has one and I hate it for this reason. My suggestion would be to try and find a parts donor tractor that has the 8 speed transmission which is an extremely durable transmission providing you with 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. Whatever you do stay away from the SOS 10 speed which is not well regarded.
Another alternative option would be to exchange the rear tires with smaller diameter tires to slow it down that way, but this is a less than elegant solution.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
