tugger · Jun 28, 2009

is the gear ratio in the transmition different from a w4 compared to a H? i would like a lower gear in my H and was wondering if i could swap a gear or 2?

The w4 gear will be faster.

I'd be looking at 460, 504, and 606 parts.

It's safe to say that the later gear stuff may need some modifications.

I mention the previous tractors because a SMTA can be slowed down with 560 gears. A SM or M is different from a SMTA so that is why I mentioned modifications. The same parallel can be drawn between a H and 460.

It would have been helpful if you had specified what gears. Or do you want to slow them all down?
If it is just first gear, get an IH low-low kit from the scrap yard.
