Ford 640 , Ford 8n Funk Conversion
I'm new here & I find this site interesting . Has anyone here ever installed a Howard gear reduction transmission into an 8n Ford tractor ? I've been slowly doing a total rebuild of an original/authentic 1952 8n Funk conversion with the original 6 cyl OHV truck engine . I did a full engine rebuild , rebuilt the 4 spd transmission , installed a Sherman Hi/Lo transmission & an Everret trenching gear reduction transmission . Now I'm very nervous because I've had sitting in boxes a Howard gear reduction transmission used for roto tilling (only)to install behind the 4 speed trans . Being that I've nobody to help me , I am very nervous about this installation . So , if anybody has doen one or assisted someone & can help with plans / instructions plus encouragement , I'd be greatful . Thanks & God bless , Ken:confused2:

I have a manual and parts list for the Howard 8N Reduction gear, but haven't found it. I will look for it and send to you. Steve
