Thanks for the diagrams and info. I do have another transmission out of a 1960 Viking 2 ton. It shifted great too, we took engine and the transmission out before it was scrapped. It's the same except it has the E brake wheel on the output end. I was removing all that but discovered that the cast bracket that holds the brake is also the lower bearing housing. Now I'm wondering if I can switch out that part for the bearing housing on the old 48 transmission and I'd have to use the COE tower as well to be able to shift. I may not know until I try switching the housings..
