I learned to drive in a 52 F3 and it does take a special touch but it can be shifted up or down with minimal clash when you get used to it. These transmissions are still easy to find for parts. Folks take the half bell off and throw the rest in the junk heap. With the right tools, they are easy to overhaul.

I was a KS farmboy myself a long time ago. I liked the F1 with the 3-speed but the old F3 would pull a full size bull or a large full water tank.
