Anyone know anything about these? This one is a T drive with a 3208 Cat and MT643-7J17. It has an Eaton 22123 gear. Hoping to find out if it turns L or R and if the MT Allison is directional as well.

I was wondering if the Allison might work on a Crown, (RC needs one), or if it is turning the wrong direction. The Eaton Gear looks like a truck unit, facing the rear.

Did they use a L engine and turn it at the gear or is it all turning R? Could it turn L and have a gear that is special? This one is bolted to a 3208 @ 210 HP. It is a genuine Cat Rebuild with 37,880 miles on it.

We are likely just going to scrap it, but I was curious if the Allison could be something that would work for RC's Crown if he could find a suitable bellhousing for the Cummins.

Right hand turn with right hand turn transmission, same as a truck.

I may have some Thomas books hiding away somewhere if you need them, but I don't remember which models.

The only things that may need is a different flex plate, adapt the kickdown, and drive shaft work. Now for speed????
