I have a line on a cheap tractor near me. It's an early 70s Ford 4000 with an automatic, I think it's call an SOS trans. That makes it go for half the price of the 5 speed counterparts because people don't trust them. It runs good but with well worn tires and dry-rotted hydraulic lines it may not have been well cared for.
My question is - can the trans be swapped out with a manual transmission without breaking the bank?
Side note: this model goes for about $6000 in good working order, I could likely get it for $1500.
