Don, I'm not going to get into the discussion as to what this guy claims to have seen (I don't belive anything that I haven't seen in person), but just wanted to let you know that the Magnum transmission/rear end was based off of the IH 5088 series. The 5088's had three ranges, which were collar-shifted, requiring the clutch pedal to be pushed in. They had six speeds which were shifted by engaging hydraulic clutch packs, meaning that they could be shifted on the go. All of this gave you an 18-speed partial powershift. When the Magnum came along, they just replaced the shift collars for the range gears with clutch packs, and it became an 18-speed full powershift. The MX's being built today still use this same basic 5088 transmisssion.
