I have a hot farm tractor (466, 10MM A, 3LM, 20.8 ) in a 466 3000 rpm class. Still a 1206 with stock rear and stock gears. I can run in H3 on a loose track but will get under the charger on firmer tracks. I figure, I have 4 slots and 1 and 2 are worthless right now. My stock second is 11 mph and just not enough speed. I would like 2 gears between stock 2nd and stock 3rd in the 1 and 2 slot and maybe something in between 3rd and 4th in the 4th slot?
The question is how do I get there? Any thoughts on this? Do I want to find a faster ring and pinion? Different constant mesh gears? |

Get custom built gears from Allied or Atlas to go in your 1st & 2nd gear position. If you want stock 3rd, then leave it alone. You cannot change 4th, as that is direct drive, and merely couples the input shafts together when put in 4th.
Allied Precision has a great gear selection chart with all the custom tooth counts offered to put custom gears in an IH tranny. It can get a little confusing to a newbie, so don't be afraid to call them |

Build more power. If your at a 9500 weight or less you should have no problem running 3rd or even 3.5 gear. |

Do you know what factory 3rd is? |

Factory 3rd for me is 17ish mph I don't know what the ratio is.
I want more power but budget and reliability are my concerns there. How does a fella know what gears he needs? On the right track I can spin out in H3 but not on a power track. But I know H2 is too slow. |
