JD 5020 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Has anyone added another auxiliary box behind a quad box or equivalent transmission? I would like to keep all of my low gears and leave the rear ratio where it is. Currently its a quad box (18 speed) and a 7.00 rear. The only issue is that the top speed in the B61 is 50 MPH and I would like to boost it just a bit. (10-15 MPH) Any pictures, auxiliary information, etc. would be helpful. Looking to learn what I would have to acquire to do the job.

David Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Auxiliary trans are getting real hard to find. And the big ones (Spicer 1241 and Fuller 1202) are getting real expensive. Like 5k for a rebuilt. Depending on how you use the truck, you might get away with a 7 or 8000 series Spicer. They are in the 3500 to 6100 ft. lb. torque range and OD ratios of .75 to .86. With .75 you will run 67mph. With .86 you will run 58 mph. If your truck is a single axle you might consider a 2 sp axle.

(12-15 tons maybe) For the most part I would like to be able to go to shows with out being run over and still maintain my bottom end if I do decide to take a tractor along.

If not, fix the throttle linkage or adjust the hi speed stop screw so that it does get 2100..

The other week I ran across a B-73 with three sticks and it sparked my interest.

Let me know if you are interested - (573)219-6611.I will give you a ring if I decide to go that route, I need to determine what type of gear ratios I will end up with. Thanks for the offer, I will keep digging to see what I can learn.
