anything is possible!! with that said, I have adapted several medium HP (100-200) drive lines with intermediate boxes to add lower gearing. The unit you have? has a relitively small torque tube (middle cast iron case) with a shaft in it. Fitting a small profile gear box in it may pose a challenge. Some things to remember: Using an auto gear box with a short tailshaft housing (like a early 60s chevy three speed) will definately handle the power. And second, Drive shaft linearity is mandatory. Third, Shifting with Push pull acbles is easy to install. forth: Anchoring the "Box" to the tractor frame/torque tube is manditory to absorbe gearing forces. fifth: Using the input shaft from the other trans in the IH clutch will require a different driven disk. And last, do not cut into the casting of the Farmall (except for mounting holes). Big material removal will be instant break in half business. Good luck! A cheaper (far easier) way to go may be a hydro based unit. Good engineering. Jim Nicholson
