suddenly a fish

pondering 3IAtlas' flight,

do you have a service manual for the 440 series spark ignition tractors ? it shows and explains all the tranny info. after you read it you will probably be able to trouble shoot it yourself. it is much more than i want to explain. about 25 pages of reading. but one question is, what made you change ...
