Southeast Florida | Oh I've seen them torn all to pieces. The 2-speed would go out regular from shifting loaded in turns pulling scrapers. Engines didn't last long either. Kinze Cummins swap would solve this problem but it was a $25K upgrade. The weak frame rails caused a lot of torque from the front axle to be transferred to the engine block. The last Kinze Cummins swap I seen was really neat. They closed up the clutch and put a flex coupling between the engine and transmission like the newer tractor removing all the engine stress from the front axle. | |
