I just bought an 881 in good condition except for an iffy select-o-speed transmission. What I'm thinking of doing is swapping out the 5 speed tranny from my 860, and then parting out the 860---taking the wheel/tires for the 881. The engine on the 881 seems stronger, and there's better body-metal and a nice loader with power steering. Anyone done the trans swap before? Can one person do it alone (I don't have anyone to assist). Any reasons why I should try to keep the S-O-S, which doesn't work in all gears, and seems way too complicated for someone with my limited expertise.
Thanks...
