Trans swap

Recommended Posts

I have a commando 8 with the three speed transmission.  Is it possible to put a six speed in that model?   Thanks.

Yes... but you MAY have to change around some of the brake linkage...not sure on that.  The bolt pattern at  the FRAME PLATE is the same as in this pic....

If you need pics of a 6 speed to see the linkage let me know.

I have a 1267 here with one in it.

Your best bet would be to have the tractor that donates it's transmission on hand when you do the swap so you will have all the clutch/brake linkage you need.

Hi @Johnboy609:text-welcomeconfetti: to :rs:!

 

I put a 6/8 speed (if you count reverse) in my 502, the only thing I haven’t tackled yet is a parking brake.  The donor tractor being available is a huge help, and with some fittin’ and trimmin’ the hi/low lever will look right at home on your Commando.  :handgestures-thumbupright:
