I think there were a lot of parts swapping as with other brands of tractors, between dad and i we have had seven g1000's, and no two were alike, either different hydraulic and water pumps, rear wheels, axle housings, front ends, Even looking at pictures on the net i dont think i have seen two g1000's exactly equipped alike, must have kept the assembly guys busy. Same goes with the A4t's, seems like theres never two exactly alike. It would be nice to know more of the specs on the A4t, and according to Mike they have the 1350 trans, and 950 finals, which makes sense, just wondering if the early A4t's used 900 finals. Also the trans would still need to be modified from a 1350 on the pinion drive gear because the A4t's had a straight gear that drove the drop box. We broke 2nd/4th gear on one of the 1600's and broke an axle on the 1400, were the only two major breakdowns we had with the drive train over the years, also put a few cluthes, throw out bearings, and spun the rod bearings twice on the plainsman. I try to glance at this forum a few times a week, there is a lot of knowlegable people out there, i appreciate any information that is passed along, i don't know a lot about the building of these machines, but i think with some slight modifications they would of had a good future in the 4wd tractor market. We also have a 4-150, but it is more of a row crop tractor than tillage machine, and like i read in an earlier post, if MM would have built the prototype A4T with the heavier finals and cummins power or 800 LP that would have been an immpressive machine.
