I am replacing a 4 speed transmission with the Sherman combination on a 821 with a loader and backhoe. I located a 4 speed from a 841 and was all set to set the transmission in place, that is when I noticed that the out-put shaft on the replacement transmission has 23 splines and the old one has ten splines. So off to a bone-yard I go. They said they never seen that on a 4 speed.
They did have a coupling from a SOS that had 23 splines, so I bought that at $125. I took the two pieces to a Machine Shop and for another $150, they will join the two together to make it 23 spline on one end and 10 spline on the other. I guess that should work. I told them that shaft had to run true and there was no room for error. I did not know that there is different splines on different 4 speed transmissions on 601 or 801 series tractors.
