new process 5 speed ID?
I have an old New Process cast iron 5 speed that I'm trying to identify. All i know is that it came out of a mid to late 60's dump truck and has a 1:1 top gear. It was mated to a spicer 5831 auxillary transmission and has the normal NP aluminum top cover and aluminum rear bearing retainer.
Cast into the side after the NP cog is "G-91861"
If anyone could help me ID this thing I'd really appreciate it!

From all I can find it looks like it is an NP-540 series. Is this what it looks like?

Can you figure out what the first gear ratio is?

yeah, i know all about the 5831. that's why i picked it up, thinking about a cheap OD. But now circumstances are forcing me to unload a bunch of stuff, so i'm trying to figure out what 5 speed it is. See if it's worth me keeping or not.

There were a couple of different models with the 1:1 5th though. Knowing the gear ratio for first gear would narrow it down.
