Diff between a 5640 and 5640s?

[jimg]

Found a used Ford/NH 5640S (marked Powerstar SLE) and wondered how it differs from the 5640? I found the 5640 data on tractordata.com which didnt mention anything about an 'S' mdl.

5640 S is a plain transmission 8 x 2
5640 SL is a 12 x 12 synchro
5640 SLE is 16 x 16 powershifting transmission

Hope this helps. With each increase in letters you can add$$$ to the value.

Hey, thanx a million for answering this!!! I was looking at a used SLE on the web and couldnt figure out from other sources what the various 'flavors' were.
