I have lots of tractors. However, it is the grain truck giving me fits. 1958 GMC 370 with the 270 motor.
The speedo quit (cable and speedo good). It really bugs me so I decided to see what's up. I pulled it all apart and called for parts at Jim Carter Classic Trucks. They have never seen what I have. It is a GM trans but does not use the plastic parts to drive the cable off the trans like the Chevys do. It has two steel gears and a twisted shaft of about five inches that goes into the trans.
