Hi

Can anyone identify this Gearbox or should I say transmission

Hi Steve, the T87D is the HD 3 spd. Synchronized in gears 2 and 3. Spur gears in 1 and R. Not a bad trans for daily driving behind a flathead. That's what I'm using in my daily 48.

It rugged - bulletproof, even. I've been trying to wear this one out so I can go with on OD but it still looks like new inside after 4 years of daily use. (I just had the top off the other day) Parts are available from a variety of suppliers including Sacramento Vintage Ford.

Was your's in an industrial application? Mine has a driveshaft yoke that is attached to the output shaft.

It's the "heavy duty" three speed, available since at least 1948.

This was in my 1954 F100, the propshaft bolts up to a square flange
