I've hever seen a Sherman auxilary trans and do not know anything about them. If I was lucky enough to come across one used somewhere would I be able to install it my self and if so how would I go about it. I have a 8N late sn. How are they attached to the transmission? Thanks for any info anyone can supply.

There are Shermans out there! I ran several WEB wanted ads last month and called several Bone Yards which specialize in Fords and ended up finding (3) Sherman Step-up/step-down 3 speed models. They can be shipped UPS-but just barely make it on weight. Make sure the sender builds a wood crate/box to ship it in. Plan on spending $500-$600 + shipping for a nice one. I paid $550 for mine with shipping and it's in excellent condition - no leaks and all gears, seals & bearing OK.

You might check out the literature on the N-Newsletter page (www.n-news.com). There seems to be a manual on just about everything there. Hope you can find a Sherman--I know I'd like to.

If you buy an IT manual for your tractor, they usually have a section on it. At least the one I have for an NAA does. and they were available for all the Ns. It fit in the transmission housing behind the clutch and in front of the gear box. It was considered a "field" installation, so I imagine you could do it. There were several versions of it, an overdrive unit, an overdrive/underdrive unit, and, I believe, a unit that was a forward/ reverse type thing, that let you have a matching reverse for each forward gear. I borrowed a Ford tractor in Florida one time that had this and it was great for landscaping. I wish I had been able to buy it. The owner called it a Sherman shift, but he could have been mistaken. Good luck and check the archives here, lots of info on them and other types too.

Does the term field installation mean that most Shermans were installed as a dealer option with the rest being owner installed? A friend of mine had one and the installation was so good as to make one think it was done at the factory.

Anybody have any comments?

That is about the way it went, sometimes they were dealer installed and sometimes owner installed. From what a friend said most farmers didn't have trailers to haul their tractors with so, once it got delivered to the farm, it usually stayed there. So if you wanted to put in a Sherman, you bought the kit and did it yourself. It came with pretty good instructions and a template to make sure you drilled the shift hole in the right place. I suppose you could pay the tractor dealer to send a mechanic out to do it, too.
