I bought a 1966 N-6000 Ford dump truck for parts. It was used for snow plowing. The former owner, who has since passed away, installed this transmission right behind the stock Spicer 5 speed. It looks like he removed the rear axle and springs, installed the unit with a shorter driveshaft, and then put the rear back in it. All the factory rivets on the spring hangars were drilled out and replaced with stainless steel nuts and bolts. I am just wondering what this added transmission is.

 

Its an auxiliary transmission, with under drive, direct, and over drive. Very nice thing to have IMHO. Look at the case for an ID plate

 

Thanks. Maybe someone will recognize the know style and know what manufacturer transmission it is.

 

You can't reliably identify a transmission from the ****.

There were lots of makers and dozens of models. There's usually a tag on them and you'll know for sure.

 

I will have to crawl underneath the truck and see what I can find.

 

Bring a rag, and a can of starting fluid, clean er up

 

Most likely a Spicer, we had the 4 spd version in a couple L800/8000’s
