[AT] Ford NAA with aux tranny??

[John Wilkens]

Picked up a Ford NAA that has a nice low range aux. transmission in 
it.  I thought it came as a Ford option but now I'm not sure.  It is 
a gear reduction transmission that is shifted by one lever right next 
to the normal PTO lever (left side).  Was this a standard Ford 
option?  If not, anybody know what it could be?  I don't have it 
running right now and I didn't notice before if this step down 
gearing also slowed down the pto--like the Serman.   I've seen Howard 
transmissions in N series Fords but they all had the shift lever on 
the right side.  Also, anyone know where I could find a Howard or 
even a step down Sherman?   John W.
