Adding an Over Drive to a FC

[Mike Hohnstein]

Call Adelmans in Canton OH, they have a web site, ask for a brownie box. It's a
in line 3 speed transmission designed to bolt mid drive shaft and provide more
ratio selection. Google for more info. Most are low direct and OD. Woody and
Randy are hip to brownie boxes and Woody has the ratio chart. My installation
left the retarder intact.
From my perspective the only thing that would make sense on a PT would be a late
model Allison upgrade or my favorite wet dream, for lack of a better term, a 13
speed OD.
I sure love the 13 in my toter.

MikeH,

Did you add a OD box to the back of your Allison MT643?

Who makes it?

Is it a bolt in gear box?

Do you retain the drive line retarder?

With fuel so high, it would be more beneficial now than ever, to add
the Over Drive.

The guy who figures this out for the PT's with 8V92 and 4 speed
Allison, will certainly be popular.
