Sherman Combo Transmission

[witracguy]

Is it possible to put a Sherman Combo Trans in a 1956 Model 850 with a 5 speed trans?

 

[awhtx]

No, there is no Sherman or any other forward mounted aux trans that will work with the 5 speed.

 

[old]

No the aux tranny's only fit tractors with 4 speeds or should I say the ones that fit between the engine and tranny only fit the 4 speed tractors.

are you looking to speed up or slow the tractor down? i have a everrett transmission that came of 800 ford 5 sp but it only slows down tractor.

too bad someone couldn't mod the input shaft ont he *5* models to work, since it doesn't have live pto.. you'd think it would be the same as a 3 or 4 speed setup.. or could be done similarly anyway.. might be a fun.. though expensive project..

As I recall the input shaft on the *5* is not as long as the input shaft on the *4* transmissions so there wouldn't be enough room inside the bellhousing for the Sherman to fit in there.

i wonder if custom machining on the sherman input shaft could be accomplished to shorten it up a tad? all academic speak.. as I don't own a lathe.. just thinking out loud..

Won't work. The 5 speed bulges forward in the bell housing and there is no room at all for a sherman to be tucked in.
