49 8n auxillary trans.

Thanks in advance.

Does it look like the one in this photo? If so...Dell's the man!

The sherman replaced the short drive shaft between the clutch and the tranny. Altho there are some that claim the sherman replaced the tranny long input shaft. Same effect what ever you call it, more useful gearing. How-some-ever, shermans don't really make your too high geared N-Tractor a roto-tiller machine, ya' need the now rare "Howard" gears to do that.

The 3-speed combo and 4-speed main tranny gives your 8N 12 foward speeds and 3 reverse speeds.

I am embarrased to admit that I had my 8N 4 years before I found the "direct" range on my sherman, so I am going to share with you the "secret". With the Sherman in "neutral", pull out to the side about 1/2 inch and then pull back like for overdrive. If your tranny hasn't been exercised in neutral and direct drive, it may be a little stiff.

Speed ranges are somewhat like this: 1st under, 1st direct, 2nd under, 1st over, 2nd direct...etc...

I find I do most of my N-Tractoring in "under" except when I go down the main road to the local to gas up, then it's 4th OD at near idle is fast enuff for me with ol' shakey for steering and 2 wheel rear brakes.

Hope this helps..... ..Dell

Davis' original question asked for any information of the transmission and how to shift it. Dell told him about the transmission, and he told him how to shift it.

So tell me, little Internet troll, in what way Dell's answer failed to meet your high standards? And explain to us all, little Internet pixie, why your need to snipe at others exceeds your desire to help those who are asking honest questions and expecting honest answers? Which planet do you inhabit, little Internet elf, where being a "stone in the shoe" rates higher than being a helping hand? Could it be, little Internet goblin, that the only way you can deal with your lack of knowledge is to cast aspersions on the knowledge of others, freely given?

llater,
