triplex tranny shifting

[txs]

If you have time watch part of this 4 minute video, I picked up a triplex IH yesterday, no way will the auxilliary shift through the gears that easy. This one shifts easy between D and O (2nd and 3rd) but very difficult between U and D (1st and second).

Tom, you forgot the link!

I know the title on the video says Triplex, but you shift a Quad the same way. You only hit Lo-Lo when you're doing serious off road stuff, soft ground or heavy weight.
Ahhh, the good old days, when I was young, the beer was cold, and the GF was HOT!

I drove the truck home, know why they decided to sell, the main tranny sounded like a cement mixer with dry rocks in it, especially 2nd gear. very strange pattern on the main 5 speed, 1st and reverse were all the way to the right, 2nd and 3rd were all the way to the left, 4th and 5th in the center gate.

Boy, that is weird!
