Looking to find out more about my recent purchase. looks like a 330HD FT. The transmission and aux trans are a mystery to me, Its a dump truck and the trans has a pump to lift the bed. I have only ever seen a 2spd rear end, not a second trans unit. Any help would be great! n70MU600830
It's stuck in a gear now lol. its some sort of 5 speed, doesn't look like any I have found pictures of. I know very little about the large truck transmissions. I'll post some pics of what I found. The aux trans tag is not in the best shape. As far as the wheels go, they are large pattern 5 lug 22.5" is all i know. Since I am only moving it in the driveway and yard the wheels will be on the list for fall. trans pump pass side of main trans Aux trans tag
A Spicer 5831B has three gear ratios:
2.35:1 under drive
1:1 direct drive
0.85 overdrive
If you have a 4 or 5 speed transmission, I wouldn't be concerned about driving it with those transmissions.
Lots of videos on Youtube of people driving those two stick trucks. My dad drove several over the years. 5/2 and 5/3 transmissions. I remember the first gas engine truck he drove with an 8 speed Road Ranger before the company went diesel with 15 speed deep reduction transmissions.
You had to have the rpms on the money to shift the Road Ranger with a gas engine. Much easier to do with a diesel.
In the 60's and back, these setups were common in gas engine heavy trucks, and many OTR trucks. Macks were famous for their 5&2 duplex transmissions.
