[Farmall] Slightly OT Inter truck gearing.

[Howard R Pletcher]

Rob, it would seem to me that this is just what a 2 speed rear axle was
intended for.  You might be able to get by with a higher ratio only with
the converter of the Allison giving you startability, but the 2 speed
would give you the best of both worlds.
