Zane Thanks for the vote of confidence Zane :oops: I have put my mind to it and have produced gearing for 5 prototype gearboxes. In keeping with the Zane Sherman tradition of "fun" product naming I dubbed it the HokiePokie :roll: The gears are made and all that remains is to find time to finish the gear carrier ant the modiications to the Ford PTO shifter and linkage mechanism. Then it's install and test the thing. The reduction ratio is 3.5:1 in all gears forward and reverse so the speed reduction is significant - e.g. roto-tilling speeds.
