Creeper Gears

[Jesse N. Macias]

I have 10 Ford 8210 Tractors but only 1 has a creeper gear. Is it possible to install creeper gears to all the rest? Where can I find creeper gears?

Theoretically... yes. Price the dealer installed gear sets while you sit in the emergency room. A buddy of mine priced a set a few years ago and it was something in the range of 10 grand. I doubt it's any less today, if they're still available. Where are you located, and what do you use the 8210's for?

I'm from the Philippines but I have a buying agent in San Francisco, CA. who can buy the Creeper Kits for me if they are available anywhere in the USA. I am using the 8210's basically for rotavating the soil after lime spreading and for other uses in a 3,000 hectare mango farm. Will the Creeper Gears be available at a Ford Dealership?

I looked in the NH online parts catologue and also a NH dealer's online parts catologue and certain creeper sets appear to be available. Some others are listed but no price given, so that generally means that they're not available anymore... or not easily available. The set I found with a price was just under USD $6800.

What I would strongly suggest is that you get the Model, Serial and UNIT numbers from EACH tractor you intend to convert, and then talk to a prospective dealer that you plan on buying from. They can tell you whether or not my information is correct.
The transmission type you have now will be VERY important as well as the configueration (cab or open station). With that information in hand you should be able to find out if you can get the kits you want.

This is the webpage for a NewHolland dealer in Pennsylvania... http://www.external_link/

They have an online parts catologue.

You can also go to www.newholland.com/na and go to the parts and service section to get to NewHolland's master parts catologue.
