I opened it up and everthing looked good, no rust and shifted just fine. I will be picking it up on Tuesday and I will check casting dates then.

I do have a Brownie listed on the site everyone loves to hate, that does have overdrive. It came out of a International R-190. It is a Spicer Brown Lipe 6231 which has a .69 overdrive.
