[AT] Ford 5000

[Mike Sloane]

There are plenty of salvage yards with Ford tractor parts - go to the 
ATIS main website <www.atis.net> and click on "salvage yards" and start 
"surfing". Also, surprisingly, your local New Holland dealer will have 
some of the non-transmission parts or can get them for you.

Transmission parts may be a problem. The SOS transmission was not one of 
Ford's better ideas. When they work, they work very well. When they 
don't work, they are a serious problem. Parts are not available from New 
Holland, but there are a few outfits that specialize in SOS 
transmissions - you need to do some Googling to search them out.

By the way, there is a separate "ford-ferguson" ATIS that you can sign 
up for. It hasn't been very active, but you might get some members 
stirring if you post something to it.
