Thanks for all the help so far. Here's the latest:
I jacked up the rear end. With the transmission in neutral, I spun a tire by hand and the other tire spun in the opposite direction. With the rear end in the air (insert your own joke here...) I started it up, and went through the gears. Strangely, the wheels turned in the opposite direction - it was like I had 1 forward and 4 reverse. The PTO turned when the clutch was engaged. Lowered it off the jack, and went through the gears again. It didn't take off, but I could see and feel a slight movement of the wheels in each gear - but again, it was in the opposite direction! Am I missing something?

It sure sounds like the clutch. Sound guy would know about this better than me, but there was an auxiliery transmission option available on those tractors that could provide a step up and down (so 12 gears forward and 3 reverse). I have this option on one of my tractors. I am pretty sure Sherman transmissions also came in a reverser option, instead of the step up step down. Is it possible that you have one of these and it is stuck in reverse?
During these tests, did you check the PTO with the tires on the ground and the tractor in gear?

diffy action is normal for one tire to spin fore and the other aft.
if you get pto and tire movement under no laod, but none under load, clutch may be at the end of it's life

I think he is saying that BOTH tires are turing the wrong way? Odd...

When a dealer adds a sherman or other aux transmission, where they supposed to stamp the BH to indicate the change?

hard tpo say what happens in 50ys after it left the factory...
however seeing is believing. if there is no indication of a sherman tranny on the BH, and you see a lever.. well..

Yeah, thats why I was asking. Mine has no stampings, but it does have a lever.
I cant think of any other way his tires would turn the wrong way. Did those reverser transmissions have a lever just like an over under, or was there more linkage to make for more comfortable operation? Maybe his is broken off...but I have never seen a reverser so I dont know what to tell him to look for.
