[AT] Ford 6000 info lacking

[Mike Sloane]

I am sure that you can get manuals for the 6000 (I turned up half a 
dozen websites, including eBay, when I did a search on [Ford 6000 
tractor service manual]), but be aware that this is a British built 
tractor, and parts may not be easy to find. Also, when I worked for a 
New Holland dealer they would work on virtually anything that came 
through the shop door, but they wouldn't touch a Select-O-Speed 
transmission. From what I understand they either work or they don't, and 
fixing them is a very specialized art, to say nothing of trying to 
locate parts for one.

If it is committed in the name of God or country, there is no crime so
heinous that the public will not forgive it. -Tom Robbins, writer (1936-)
