I have never installed a Sherman transmission in a TO 30 Ferguson. I have worked on several Sherman transmissions. This transmission was used in Fords also. I have one in an 8N Ford.
They are very simple to put in. Split the tractor and remove stock input shaft assembly. Rebolt the Sherman transmission in its place. Reinstall orginal hardware, throwout bearing , clutch springs, ect.. A hole has to be bored to hook up the lever in the bell housing to shift the auxiliary transmission. You will probably have to disconnect your neutral start switch because it was not designed to work with this setup. Any questions call 304-358-2533 evenings

Talk/email the Mr. Smith directly. He will be able to give you good advice and maybe even help you locate one. There were Sherman's that were made specifically for the TO-30 and actually had a slightly different casting for the top/shifter portion. I have one ready to install, but I can't give you specific reasons for the differences because I haven't got to the point of installing it yet to see what the issues were. I am also told that the typical Ford (most popular) version can also be installed in Fergusons but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some modifications to the case that would be required. I believe that the Ferguson version can also be installed in the Ford, but I understand that the shifter location is slightly different.

hello, I'm writing you to seek knowledge about a Ferguson to-30 see I'm rebuilding the tractor for my dad who has owned it for the past 30+ years I'm 22 and been threw the tractor a couple of years ago when it had a bad block and the used one i put in it is having the same problems. that's not what I'm writing for. i guess my dad found a one of a kind. see it has a small 3-speed transmission on the right side of the bell housing. so yes it hes a total of 12 forward gears and 3reverse gears along with changing the PTO speed witch is nice for running the elevator to in low range to running a fale chopper in high range.is this the sherman transmission? are there shop manuals for them? how about seal kits? oh almost forgot on the handle (all steel) it has four letters that look like "ruff" or "roff" years of use have rubbed them a little
