hehe i dont blame ya there, i love shifting but its starting to get to me in the form of weak knees.

after re-reading your post, you could probably get by with a mildly built th350 or a stock th400... the things i haul usually cant though (about 8 tons of hay), but you should be fine with an auto. you could even get by with the rearend out of the 68, but if its an eaton corp (most likely) it is difficult to find parts for. the only real concern i would have with the 68 equipment would be the front diff, because of the closed knuckle and the very large turning radius... it might not be too much of a problem, ive never personally drove one, but ive heard it can be a real pain with a trailer
