[AT] Ford Select O Speed question

[Mike Sloane]

I have to be the bearer of sad tidings, but your neighbor is going to 
have a hard time finding parts for the "SOS" transmission. When I worked 
for a New Holland dealer, they wouldn't even let one in the shop, let 
alone work on it - they were afraid that something would happen to the 
transmission while it was in their possession and they would be forced 
to deal with it.  :-( I wish your neighbor luck, but he may be in for a 
difficult time. We used to direct customers to an ex-Ford dealer in 
Quakertown PA, Keller Brothers, who apparently take on SOS 
transmissions, but that may not be convenient for you.
