help! need information

Hi everybody,
Does anybody know what kind of transmission an early to mid 70s Koehring 166 backhoe has. The ad says 4 speed w/ shuttle shift. Is this just a geared tractor with a clutch, or does it have some kind of hydraulic drive. Also, are any trans parts still available for this tractor anymore?
Thanks,
exjetman

It's probably a C166 track excavator with either hydrostatic or just standard hydraulic drive and might have a top speed of 1 1/2 to 2 miles per hour... if you're lucky. Parts depend on what type and make of hydraulics are used. dave

Thanks for the response, but this is a wheeled backhoe loader.
