Have driven olivers most of my life but really did not get into them until the 60's models had 1900, 1950T 2150, still own and use a 1950T and 2150.
My question is about the 995 with lug matic, the Allison built torque converter behind a 3-71Detriot Diesel engine. I just read about in the "ageless iron almanac".
How well did that setup work, was the torque converter air cooled ?
How did it compare to a Case-o-matic for those of you who have run both.
I seem to remember that the Case-o-matic had a way to lock up the torque converter / fluid coupling for heavy field work, did the lug matic have any similar lock up / lock out system ?
Thanks for any info or stories about the lug matic system, as I never was exposed to it .
