In your response to the bush hogging question and second gear breakage on an 8n, you said the 9n 2n three speeds did not have the same 2nd gear problem. This is info I've never had and good to know. In your mind, is that because 2nd gear is beefier on the 9n 2n, is it because the gear ratios are easier on the transmission parts ? Thanks. TimK

Also, could that mean a 9 or 2 with a sherman would really be the better machine for bush hogging than an 8?

The 3 speed 9N 2N transmission is alltogether different than the 8N transmission. I don't know if any of the parts are interchangable for sure but knowing what I do about how many ford tractor transmissions have parts in them with 9N as the prefix on them I wouldn't be surprised if some of the parts are interchangable. Aparently the second gear in the 9N 2N is not weak like in the 8N because I have never had to repair one of these transmissions and have repaired lots of the 4 speed transmissions. Broken second gears mostly!

The Sherman transmission wouldn't help the operation of the bush hog I don't think unless you could run the Sherman in high gear maybe and the standard in first and still be going slow enough to bush hog. If you tried to run the Sherman in low gear then the standard transmission would probably be going so slow that the PTO would not turn fast enough to bush hog. The Sherman changes the speed of the PTO too when it is in low or high. The PTO only is 540 rpm when in standard range.

Zane, that actually does work pretty well. High range first gear will let you wind up your bushhog pretty well and give you decent ground speed. I use that combination now after reading about the second gear achille's heel on my 48 8N. And then drop into standard range first gear for thick or uneven stuff. Works pretty well for me.
