"In order to preserve the gearshift start feature of the Fergusons, the Sherman transmissions were slightly different for the Fords and Fergusons. However, the Ford version can be installed in a Ferguson with work around solutions, e.g. giving up the gearshift start..."

Your transmission is the Ford version. If you say that the transmission that you have came out of TO-30, that is entirely possible. The Ford version of the trans would go in a Ferguson (TO-20 or TO-30)as well as the Ford but as I said, you had to give up the gear shift start feature. The Ferguson version (which has a different casting on the top and some additional machining) was to preserve this feature. However, I am reasonably certain that an inventive person could come up with some custom linkage that would restore that feature if they wanted it... even using the Ford version.. Jim
