I hadn't paid any particular attention to the 5 speed hi/lo part in the original post, but.... there was no such thing on a 5 speed. They had 5 speeds with live power and 5 speeds with non-live PTO, but they were both straight 5x1 transmissions.

Actually, when you get right down to it, I think the 5 speeds at 'that time' were all supposed to have been live PTO versions and the 4 speed was the basic option... but I won't swear to that, and it doesn't cover the possibility that the transmission has been changed at some point. One would have to carefully evaluate each tractor to see what it has.
