B1B Keven Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Call Chuck (the owner) he has my old 4 speed. http://www.springfieldautorecyclers.com/ (and yes, this should have been in the 'parts wanted' section) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I have a 4 speed from my 50 1 ton, which I think is the same as the 1/2 ton... $75 and this shipping and it's yours ... But freight to you from anywhere in NA would be nuts I imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontknowitall Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Depending on the weight, it is not a large object.

B1B Keven Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Depending on the weight, it is not a large object. About 175 pounds. I checked for a possible buyer a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontknowitall Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks B1B, all I need is the box itself, without the gearstick.. About 175 pounds. I checked for a possible buyer a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks B1B, all I need is the box itself, without the gearstick.. But do you need the inner workings or just a bare case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontknowitall Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 If the inner workings fit in my standard 3 speed box , then yes, I suppose that would work. But I dont know what the difference is between a 3 or 4 speed box..is the 4 speed box larger? But do you need the inner workings or just a bare case?

Dave72dt Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 The inside parts of a 4 speed will not work in a 3 speed box and 3 speed parts won't work in a 4 speed box. You need (want)a 4 box w/internals. I don't know if the gearstick interchanges or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I would assume not from what I have seen, they look like different cases. So if you go to 4 speed you need the whole unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontknowitall Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi guys, thanks a lot for all the imput.. have decided to stick with my 3 speed box.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarer Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Not knowing exactly what the used parts supply is like 'downunder', you might consider a swap to the TK5 (different than t5) if you need a 4th gear and wouldn't mind having a 5th... Do a search for 'ranger' and you will find a thread by Robert Horne showing his project. It appears to be even easier than the t-5 swap that so many folks 'just have to have'....
