Had to put my two cents worth on this one Gene as I know for sure my 40 and
50 have six speed transmissions and there was no option. You might be
thinking of the 'creeper' transmission available on the 30. It gave a
creeper gear in each of the four speeds for total of 8 speeds.
Also,, that Mercer tractor,,,, looks like no Cockshutt I have ever seen.
Except for the 4-153 engine which would be the same as the Cockshutt 30,
otherwise I see no similarity.
