Now that I have a 1955 401, I think I understand,maybe, why it was changed. The stacked "H" pattern is a wee bit difficult.May have there been other reasons to convert to the two stick control? BTW I like the two stick system and will not be originalizing it. gobble [Reply]   [No Email]

It makes it hard to find the gear positions. Two bolts remove the shifter and you can rebuild it and it makes it easy to find and shift gears. I've had to rebuild 3 of my 4, 400 tractors shifters. I've learned so much from you guys that I will never be able to give back what I have taken in. Thanks to all! [Reply]  [No Email]

They use to publish a book with all the tractor numbers, tractor brand and model and Owner operator. But that fell by the wayside a couple of years ago. gobble [Reply]  [No Email]

The single stick is fine with me, but I've been on 400s and one 700 enough that I really don't even think about it when I'm on one. Friends that have been on my 400 usually just drive it once. One friend in particular said he wouldn't get back on it, not because it made him feel stupid, but because he was afraid people watching him trying to shift it might think he was. To each his own. I wouldn't go to the trouble of changing one either way. Originality and familiarity, and the simple fact that they're CASE tractors either way just make both of them fine by me. [Reply]  [No Email]
