unknown auxilliary transmission

[rwelker]

Some time ago I picked up a spicer auxiliary transmission at Coleman's. It's painted CARC so I'm assuming it's military. It has the round drive flanges like a 5 ton driveline. It's a four speed; 1 OD speed, 1 direct, and 2 under. The OD is 75%. Anyone have any idea what it's from?

Could it be for one of the International Paystar dumps? I know they have auxiliary transmissions.

Its a lipe brown aux trans, they call the brownie boxes. I have been looking for one for a while.

Gimpy, What truck are you thinking about using the Brownie in?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Maybe my m725. If I have it sitting here, I will know what to put it in when I build it.

 

[spicergear]

You know you're gonna have like 8' of driveline right?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yeah, but I've seen it done in a 725. I'm not too worried, overdive trans and cucv axles will prolly help alot.

 

[spicergear]

Sounds like you won't need the aux-box if you go that route-- ?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I'd still like to have one for that "someday" project. I will find one and it will be cheap.

This one is much bigger than the "brownie" unit I've seen in the past. It goes probably close to 400 lbs. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

I rebiult one years ago it had four speeds in it .Installed in a 75 Ton mobile hydrualic truck crane powered by 318 Detroit Diesel. Long time ago I think main box was 5speed and aux. box was a 4 speed . Had to use all those gears, crane on 4 axles 128,000 lbs 11' wide. Pettibone was the manufacture, biult around 1972. 135' of stick by pushing on 4 levers. That was a big slow machine!!!

Is this aux trans. still round and would it fit under an M818?

Inquiring minds (and other sickos) want to know..

if someone has a pic of it again, i can look at colemans this week. i should be stopping by to look for somethings.

Since I got to go with 'normal' tires, it is a very attractive idea. Please do check, if you are conveniently at Coleman's. I was at Clark's in 2006 and didn't notice anything like that but time goes on..

 

[Chieftawny]

Does anyone have a pic of one so i know what im looking for? Im thinking it looks like a divorced tranny right? I dont mind checking for you. Saturn Surplus is about .5 miles from me, in one direction, and Colemans is 3 miles the other direction. And there is a big rig wrecking yard up the road a little ways too!

Edit: Also, what was the common vehicle they came in?
Someone in St Louis has one forsale $450

[Chieftawny]

Yeah, that link, all i get is red X's
