My 8N has an aux transmission with a shifting lever on the left side of the housing. Is there any way short of splitting the tractor to determine what kind of unit this is? The lever has a dogleg kind of shape to it. It would be nice to halve the speed instead of doubling it. Has anybody figured a way to do something like that? Thanks.

Auxillary transmissions with a dog leg shift lever are 3 speed Shermans (and highly valued). Have one on my 8N and it wasn't untill I started following this site that I realized what I had. The third gear is hard to find. Shift to neutral and push to the left then down. May have to wiggle it a bit.

Jim, sounds like a Sherman "step up" tranny. They also made a "step up, step down" tranny which gave you a range botj above and below your tractor's transmission. I have a step up unit in a '46 2N, works good, but with only 3 speeds, a lower range would be nice. Pete

THANKS! The link to the Sherman transmission page answered all my questions. This explains why there seemed to be such a big difference between ranges - 26 years ago a friend purchased the 8N from a guy and last year I bought it from him. For 26 years, neither my friend or myself knew that this transmission was anything other than "hi - lo" only.
