No, not true, the 30 and 60 series 2+2 did not even have the 86 series planetary drive transaxles. They all used 66 series bull gear drive transaxles
I owned a 3788 for a few years and have the 30-60 series shop manual. It was a common misconception that the 2+2 tractors (30 and 60 series), had the 86 series planetary drive transaxles.
