The old HI-Lo transmissions on the two cyliders had to be the fastest in high gear.???

We have a '49 AW with 42' rear rims. In high gear it'll do a little over 20mph. Not sure how that compares to the G's.

The one that seemed the fastest to me is an unstyled A with a Behlin overdrive. 6th gear is rediculously fast.

My brother and I got our old 45B to 32 miles MPH on a down hill when we were young with a toe under the right spring and left foot pushing the left side of the governor. Boy did it rattle, I don't think I want to do that today. He was on the truck behind me.
Later Ben

I have a '50 "G" and if anything went faster, I would be very afraid. Sixth gear is just for I-80 travel.

An old farmer(Coonie Mantz) in the community of Fishers could hook the governor rod on his A with his toe and make her go DOWN the road just a gittin it! Huffy, you remember him?

Just to warn the young guys, I learned this just a few years ago. NEVER push on the governor arm with a stretched forward right toe. It makes you go pretty fast, so fast that on a long hood A, the flywheel can come off. I used to take my 46 A to two different countys tractor pulls, had a 41 H on a trailer pulled behind the A. Always want to get there in a hurry so one day I gave the little arm a push, wow would it go. It did not take but about a mile of doing a good 30 or so mph that the flywheel and I parted. The flywheel must have been doing near 60 as it didn't stop for a good 300 foot down the road.Lets say I learned my lesson. Occasionally I still give the lever a tap, but only while using the A on my Gehl chooper to chew thru a lug in the hay windrow. If I time it right it can chew up a pretty big wad and keeps on hammering.
