Versatile transmissions....
To paraphrase an old saying; "One man's junk becomes another man's junk when moved to a different garage."
So, a couple days ago I was chasing some EV8 parts from a local ad. While talking about "stuff" the seller asked if I had any interest in a couple Model A transmissions. "Sure" I said, so we went down to his hidden storage shed and he dragged out parts of two transmissions, and this one pictured below. My first guess was it was used as a gear change unit for a piece of machinery. The seller agreed and thought that his dad had used it on a "sander".............must have been a high production unit to warrant this. Anyway, the flanges on either end are good quality machinings and may have been a regular production item for some equipment manufacturer.
Anyone have more of the story?
