Main transmission should be an Allison CLBT-754, 5 speed and then there is a 2 speed aux box behind it, a Fuller AT-1202.
The aux trans only uses 2 speeds, low gear for when on the hills and a high range for roading the machine on the flat.
The main transmission has a retarder in it to help slow those monsters down when descending hills.

Thank you for the information. My curiosity has been satisfied.

Murk,a little off the topic but did you see the request by 72hayes regarding a Model 6 Northwest? Any ideas? Perhaps 075 may also be around and have some knowledge.
