I have 97. Sometimes when it's real cold I can start backing up and it will drop out of gear. If I put it in park then back to reverse it's ok. I figure when it's real cold a valve must be sticking or something.

Right now just use it to pull a cart around the yard and pull a sulky with dad in tow at the steam/tractor shows. I'd like to rig up a pto and hang an old homelite generator on it that another buddy gave me. It's missing it's motor also. I could use it for remote power. I think it's around...
