you don't mention it.. and you really should.. but this sounds like the 10spd sos tranny.. not the 8 spd twin stick tranny. ( both of wich hav 2 reverse gears ).

have you serviced the tranny lately? ever?

they are picky on oil.. and there are adjustments that may need to be made.

are any other gears having any problems. usually issues that share a clutch / band pair up in a couple gears or a range..e tc.

You are correct it is a 10 sped slect o matic. I blew a tran line lately and was obliged to replace 5 gal of tran oil. Used the type specified
Until it got cold below o there was no problems. It will go into r2 after a 20 sec delay. I can not seem to find the r 1 which i need to be able to blow away snow. r2 is to fast and the chute quickly blocks up
i had filled it up to the level of the plug located on the right hand side of the tractor ( that is the right hand side when sitting on the machine.) I did not recheck the level after running it. ( forgot but will do it tomorrow) I could only find that one spot to check the fluid, is there another. My problem is that I can not find a dealer in the Ottawa / Gatineau area that know anything about this machine.
Thank you for your assistance

Bruce

the sos are all but unsupported anymore. rare select people work on them.

the manual tells how to make adjustments on them.

PS.. it's select - o- speed.

you may be confusing it with a ford-o-matic tranny used on ford auto's starting in 51 or so...
