3rd gear for 615

[KW2005]

Hello. Does anyone know if the 615 and D15 have the same transmission and gears? I have a 615 tractor that needs a 3rd gear. I haven’t been able to find any for a 615 but have found a few for a D15. I do also have what I believe is a I600 backhoe for parts but I’m not sure if that’ll work either. Thanks.

I think 3rd gears are the same in all those models. But, I don't have access to a parts book to verify.

Norm Swinford's book indicates the I60 and I600 were a late D15 (with 160 cu in engine) underneath. Though they had a shuttle clutch instead of a "power director" the transmission should be the same. The same book indicates the 615 replaced the I600 in1969. The big difference was the diesel version no longer used the under powered Buda 175, but used the AC 200 diesel which increased diesel sales.
