If the shifter is one piece cast iron it is almost certainly a combination (UD/Direct/OD), though it could possibly be the very uncommon UD only. Dean   [Reply]  [No Email]

In neutral it should pull out. I would cheat and grab a pry bar and try some gently persuasion. Top gear was for road speed to get you down to the next pasture asap. Still needs a Howard for tilling properly.   [Reply]  [No Email]

That is what I have mostly seen in our area when they come up for sale(vegetable farms).   [Reply]  [No Email]

The lever looks like it could have been. Don't know what you would use the faster speeds for.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Doubles use out of that tractor with using less fuel if you have the gears you can shift to with a lower engine rpm and also less engine ware. MY TO30 did not have either one and sure wished it did. Would have made a big difference in time to haul a 20 mile round trip to the elevator. Both my 9N & 2N Fords have the over and wish they were the combination. The NAA Ford did not have one as well.   [Reply]  [No Email]
