We've had a lot of rain lately but I finally got around to measuring and takin pics of the different shifters on our tractors.
The measurements are from the shift top to the bottom of the knob.
Brother in laws 67 3000
main stick is 11"
range stick is 8"
My brothers 74 3400
Main stick is 15 1/5"
range stick is 10 3/4
My 72 4000SU
Main stick is 12 3/4"
Range stick is 10 3/4"
My 69 4000AP with 4200 transmission
Main stick is 16", notice the stick is also larger in dia at the knob
Range stick is 10 3/4"
My 69 4500 with 6x4 trans
Main stick is 16", also larger in dia
range stick is 10 3/4"
A shift top I got from a 4600AP
Main stick is 12 3/4"
Range stick is 10 3/4"
Not sure why it rotated this photo
My 65 5000
Main stick is 13 1/2"
Range stick is 10"
My 74 5000 project tractor
Main stick is 17"
Range stick is 12 1/2"
It's apparent the early models have shorter shifters.
With the 4000SU and 4600AP shifters being the same I'd say a 4000AP's would also be the same.
Interesting that I never noticed the 4200 and 4500 main shifters being the same length and size until now.
It also appears that industrial models have longer main sticks to make shifting easier.
Also note that 5 had the same 10 3/4" range shifter.
The measurements are from the shift top to the bottom of the knob.
