Maddog13407 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 given that the box shows TRD720 which is a 9 speed duplex. either they changed all the gears cause the case was cracked which is highly unlikely or they mated a 9 speed to a quadbox back makin it an 18 speed double overdrive. a 9 speed cover wont work on a 10 speed duplex and vise versa and I think its the same for a 18 and 20 speed quad. the forks and locks are in different spots. about the only way to tell is to count the teeth ad compare to one you know has not been screwed with or take it out and rotate it and count the revolutions in to out. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32313-b81-build/page/4/#findComment-276549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeMan Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks guys. Plan on pulling the trans in spring. To look at the clutch and flywheel and pressure plate. Easier to do it now then when the cabs on. Will figure out what ratio the trans is then. If I need help on any of it I defy will let you guys know.

yarnall Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Pretty neat stuff. The R doesn't look as big in the picture as they do in person. Tom Spencer had on all done up. It was the first tractor I ever saw with the pony motor start. The other engines look big in the pictures. They must really be big in person.

Vladislav Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I was just wanting to ask "where's the cab??"That hood hinge cap damage area looks strange indeed.But you never know where such an old lady roamed during all her lifetime.What's on the plan - sandblasting or wirewheeling?At least no rivet work is required Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32313-b81-build/page/4/#findComment-318978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeMan Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Cabs off the frame. Bin off for 2 years and in and out of a building. It's on a car rotisserie. Got tired of moving it around, so I put it in a work bay to get all the metal repairs done and ready for paint and back on the frame in spring. I was thinking of getting it blasted. Then I was thinking of all the dirt getting in the cab. If anything soda blasting or a heavy duty scotch brute pad on a sander... Anyone got any suggestions on the best way??? I'm open to suggestions!!! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32313-b81-build/page/4/#findComment-318996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I took my 41 Chevy convertible body, doors and deck lid to a place in Pa. They blasted it with plastic medium. worked well.

fxfymn Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I was thinking of getting it blasted.Check around for a mobile blaster who will come to your place to do it. I talked with one this past fall who will use soda or any other abrasive. He uses a water slurry for the other abrasives to keep the mess down.
