For years I had a Farmall H. Now I have a Farmall Super M. Both shift the same, except the Super M has a lot more power. Still, there is the question about the 5th gear. I dont use it often, but when I do, unless I was rolling downhill when I shifted into 5th gear, the engine would kill. On my Super M, the engine dont kill, but it really has to work hard to take off from a dead stop.
When driving most other standard transmission vehicles, a person starts in a low gear and works upward. But these Farmalls so not have the synchronized gears, thus they grind if I shift from 4th to 5th while moving. Even if I wait a few seconds after pushing the clutch.
What is the recommended procedure (from the factory) for shifting into 5th gear? Do you just let the gears grind, or is there some trick I never learned?
(I hate grinding gears).
Thanks
