I bought a 1969 820 3 cyl. with plans to restore it. I have found information on TractorData.com that shows that these tractors "with a sliding gear" tranny have 7 forward and 1 reverse gear (which is apparently what I have). Although the John Deere owners manual I got off eBay says that they either had 7 or 8 forward and 4 reverse gears. Can anyone tell me if I am going to have to tear into the tranny and fix it? Or is this the way they are? Any information would be helpful. THANKS:confused2:
