F20 road gear identify?

mschwartz · Jan 18, 2014

Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this aftermarket road gear. The only mark that I can find is a 300 stamped into the base of the bronze shift tower. It is a two to one overdrive. Purchased with the intent of placing on my '39 f20 but after a couple of test drives I don't think that I will. With the fast fourth the tractor moves along at least 10 mph with the 13.6 x 38 rear tires. I am thinking it will be more useful on the '37 f20 with 28 inch rears. Am I thinking correct that this road gear was designed for operator to place tranny in neutral and then engage this gear? Any guesses as to how fast the '37 will go with this gear installed? Thanks for your help, mike

Its a Behlen.My F20 with 13x36 tires would run inexcess of 20 mph.

I could be wrong but I think that is a Bennett road gear. It's a little different than the traditional Behlen as the lever to engage is out the top instead of the side. The speed of the tractor with 28" tires will be determined by the gear ratio of the box, tire size, and the rpm of the motor. My F-20 has a 2.25 ratio with 13.6x36 tires and I know it is turning over on rpm. I clocked it with a gps at 17 mph. Maybe 10-12 mph?

Do you have any more info on the Bennet road gear? Searched and did not find any info. Appears to be a well made unit. Thanks, Mike

Pretty sure its a Bennett. Behlens had the shift arm come out the side of the case
