I would like to know more details about the 8020.
Searching over the internet, the 8010 is described as having a 9 speeds spicer transmission with the shifting lever on the left.
It is said in Heritage Iron article that this transmission was replaced by a 8 speeds during the recall into 8020. I looked up JDparts PC906 and it looks to me that the transmission mounted in 8020s is a JD built transmission and not a spicer one. Things like the syncrhonizeres are done exactly like the other new generation tractor made in Waterloo at the time.
This has me really stumble. Why would JD have developped such a transmission themselves instead of installing a stronger Spicer trans?
If the one pictured under is not a JD, what model Spicer trans could it be and in what others vehicles was that transmission installed?
Thanks!
