Thanks Jeff! And anyone need a spare engine for their Weasel?
As for the transmission, most replies have been along the lines of Allen's:
"My thoughts are that you have a "brownie box" transmission, used behind
the main transmission to divide each gear into several short
ranges rather than one long one. You might try asking at the American Truck
Historical Society page, www.aths.org to see what they can
offer.
Allen"
I'll be checking with ATHS. Thanks Allen, and everyone else who has helped
out with these.
