Working on tractors again.  I have a distant relative of that Ferguson, 
a '65 Ford 3000 with the Select-O-Speed transmission with a stripped 
input shaft and Torque Limiting Clutch.  I figured after two years it 
was time to work on it.  I split the tractor and found the worst fears.  
To remove the input shaft the transmission has to be vertical of things 
fall down to the bottom.  The way this should be done is to take the 
transmission off but I just have to be different sometimes.  I thought 
it would be easier to lift the tractor until the transmission would be 
vertical.  I did and it worked, the shaft is out and will be sent off 
for some machining Monday.

That red tractor with the boom is also a distant relative of that 
Ferguson.  It is a Case IH DX29, CNH sold the same tractor with gray and 
red instead of red and black and called it a Boomer.
