Creeper gear

According to the Case IH parts listings, it looks like they offered a creeper gear setup for the Super C. Is this correct or is this a setup for something completely different?

If this is a super-low first gear has anyone had any experience with it or seen one?
 
It's not a creeper gear as in an actual gear.

It's a HYDRA-creeper. Basically, it is a hydraulic motor tnat turns the PTO shaft.

The trick is, you block the clutch pedal down and engage the PTO, then use the hydraulic motor to move the tractor at a very slow speed.
 
So was this very common? Only reason i am even
vaguely interested is that i have thought about putting a small v-type snowblower
on the back of mine, a pull-through style. The
issue that keeps coming up when i think about it is
that i don't have a live pto. So in my mind a
creeper gear is the only other option as i believe
my first gear would be too fast.
 
I do not see how the creeper could be used with a PTO implement since the ground speed would then still be tied to the PTO speed. You would not be able to run the blower fast enough to move the snow, even if there was a way to hook the PTO shaft on the blower to the hyd. motor.

I agree with Zack, the PTO will be used by the creeper gear and you still will not have the capability of easing into mounds. Get another tractor that has live PTO or just plan on using a blade.
 
The hydra-creeper will tie up the PTO shaft so you can't use it to run the snowblower.

It's meant for pulling a transplanter, or something else that doesn't require PTO.

A Super C just isn't conducive to any sort of snowblower, unless you can rig up the blower with its own engine.

Those V-type pull snowblowers are a waste of time anyway. There's a reason they don't make that style anymore: They only work at all if the snow is a few inches of fluff, and then not very well. A blade is faster.
 
We used a 200 to pull a two row trans-planter for years . . . in low gear and low idle. It worked just fine as did the A and SA in low gear. I doubt the "Creeper gear" was very popular except with vegetable growers needing less than a foot in drill spacing.
