Today I finally had a chance to spend some time in the seat of the 8 n I bought not long ago.i posted the picture of the handle and I came to the conclusion,with many of y'all's help, that it was most likely a hupp step up. However to my surprise I was playing with it and discovered that it is actually an up/down trans. This leads me to the next question. Is it still a hupp? Shifted all the way down is the normal speed. Up one detent and it is the slow speed. Up one more detent it is high speed.
 
The handle on yours sure looks like a Hupp step up.
I was told that there was a conversion kit to turn them into a
combo, but I have never seen one and don't know how it works.
Maybe John Smith or others will chime in and let you know for sure.
 
(quoted from post at 00:16:34 03/11/18) You must have a Hupp Dual Drive Transmission in it.
Hupp
Den, John has taken his site down, so it no longer works.
He's working on getting the content republished elsewhere.
In the mean time, there is an archived copy of most of it available [b:5895fb42da]here.[/b:5895fb42da]
 
Thanks for the link. I ran across that same
one when I was looking for more info on
what I actually have. I am hopeful that
someone else either has one or has had one
in the past as the description and even the
sales brochures are limited on info.i know
it is a minor difference but the handle is
different than mine. In that article's
picture of the step up the small level tab
on the end is horizontal to side of the bar
and mine is on the very end vertical to the
bar.
I am mostly curious if there is a way to
tell the difference between the step up
that has an step down added and the one
that has all three speeds. I may just have
the wrong handle installed. I am exited
either way. Once I install the Howard that
I have,along with the three speed hupp, it
will do everything I want it to do and much
much more.
