Sparky-(Admin) 23,147 #2 Posted December 7, 2008 Are they hydro or 8 speed? If there 8 speeds they will interchange. If their hydros the 84 will have an Eaton 1100 tranny. The 81 tractor was the year they swapped out to Eaton and stopped using Sundstrand trannys so I think some early 81's have Sundstrands and the later 81's had Eatons. Mike........

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,532 #3 Posted December 7, 2008 Mike, They are both hydros. I understand that the eaton is a stronger tranny than the sunstrand, is that correct ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,147 #4 Posted December 7, 2008 Ok. I was wrong. The 1980 C-175 was the year they swapped out to Eatons over Sundstrands. Sorry Both tractors your lookin at should have Eaton trannys. The C-175 was made from 1980-84. Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
