I heard of a skeleton unit locally, went to see it, it was a loader, in its day, only loader frame, lift cyl’s, engine ( gas) no cyl head,
5 speed trans, reverser, ( lever at least) steering clutch inner housings, and dash board and gauges. Owner( tractor wrecker)
said if it had the special trans, it would have a little bolt on cover, above the ring gear( maybe someone on here knows about this special trans) but this one doesn’t , but he forgot it had a reverser so price jumped to $750. Ouch!!

I thought I would check serial #, because Lavoy had said JD made a little heavier trans after they increased HP by a whopping 10%, after diesel’s were available. Well I checked serial #, plate is still like new and just about fell over- # is 442171, my serial is
442172. I couldn’t believe it, so I took pictures and then checked when I got home and sure enough it’s 442171 one less than my serial #- I have never had that kind of luck, and to have it locally to boot, what are the chances of that!!
