I'm accumulating the bits and pieces to make a "tractor" also- - - -a modern day version of a doodlebug. I'll be using a Mercruiser Marine 4 cylinder engine, a SM 318 3 speed trans, a 1946 truck crash box 4 speed, and a vacuum shift 2 speed rear end with dual wheels. I'll be using a narrowed pickup truck straight axle up front. If I've done my math right, that works out to 32 forward speeds and at least 16 (?) in reverse!
