Ford Tranny ID

Any idea ? truck ?
the bellhousing has been cutted (dotted line), this one was used on a homebuilt tractor...

 

The "51" in case part number indicates a part revised for 1935-36 trucks, so the trans is noe earlier than 1935. It might have been used for years after that. Gears were I think the same about 1930---early 1950's. Not synchronized, very low geared in first, HEAVY.

 

thanks !
We don't want to use it, we found it and we was curious to know what it is.
Anything to save ? gears to use in a car ****** ? or just completely differents ?

 

I believe it is 100% different in all ways.

 

Piece of worthles trivia: I believe the Offenhauser Indy car transmissions used 2 gears worth of the insides of this transmission!

 

thanks again !

 

Somebody restoring a truck or WW2 military truck would like that.

I always liked the noises they make. You can tell what gear they're in by the whine as it p***es you by.
