Just got my newly aquired 8n running after sitting and rusting for 5 years. Can any one tell me what the gear pattern is for the 8n? It is supposed to have 4 gears, right? it there a high and low position lever? also what would a Sherman transmission look like so I could tell if I had one? The 3 point wont raise but the oil looks like it might have a lot of water in in from sitting.

gearhead..... ...crazy8 had it right. 4-speed tranny shift pattern is cast-in to top of tranny housing. Go look.

The dealer installed "Sherman" aux tranny (iff'n installed) is mounted INSIDE the clutch housing with the shifter lever over yer left-toe. Foward for slow, back for faster. Works in all 4-tranny gears.

BTW, unlike automobile trannys, the tractor tranny is NOT meant to be shifted while moving. Pick the gear you need and slip yer clutch to get moving, add more hand-throttle iff'n it wants to die on you.

You write..... ."The 3 point wont raise but the oil looks like it might have a lot of water in in from sitting."..... ...you MUST have the PTO lever behind yer left-heel operating for the hydraulic pump to pump to raise the 3-point lift. Amazing, eh?

Suspect water in hydro-tranny oil? DON'T MUCKA'ROUND, replace it because the water will sink into the lowest part of yer hydraulics and FREEZE (and break) yer $$$ hydro-pump housing where you can't see it.

And REPLACE yer tranny shifter boot. ($10, cheap) TIP: boil yer new tranny boot so it is nice and soft and flexable so it fits into the grooves of the tranny shifter tower. Simple, eh?..... ....respectfully, Dell

Just to add to what crazy said. The PTO has to be in gear and the clutch pedel has to be up not pushed down. The hdy pump is run off the PTO

The shift pattern is on the cover, next to the shifter boot. you may have to clean to see it. A sherman trans is not visable, other then the handle, and the handle would be below the steering box on the left side,sitting on the tractor. Make sure you have the pto engaged for the lift to work. Pto lever is on the left behind the running board.
