Interesting for sure. I am sure someone must have ordered this with this combo. The shifter is just a standard cable shifter, they must have used an older mechanical transmission instead of a computer controlled transmission. I do not know Cummins well enough, but I would guess its probably a mechanical engine and thats why they went with a mechanical transmission. Hopefully its an Allison 750, if so that would be a great combo. I am not a Cummins guy but they are good reliable engines.

Looking closer at it, it has a 2 speed reverse, its labeled RL and RH. That is like a dump truck transmission. Very specialized for sure.

It actually has a ceemat trans in it.

It is an Eaton road ranger auto shift with torque converter. 9 speeds forward with 2 speed on back.

I called owner, it has issues sometimes shifting beyond 3rd and goes into limp mode.

No one services these or supports them aftermarket.

I spoke with Eaton, weller, and transaxle.

You would have to put an Allison behind it, and good luck with that N14 torque not slipping.

Ownernow tells me it has only ever driven for 15mins before going into limp mode. And he just hasn’t ever used it in 10 years!

Not sure how add says “runs good”

It “runs” good, just does not drive good ?
