What tractor do they fit?

Are they sought after?

What tractor do they fit?

Depends on what your talking about as far as a gear reducer. There's more than one option along that line.

Digger does it mount on 1450? How hard is it to add

 

[Stevenovick1]

is it easy to mount

 

[Stevenovick1]

Will the MTD model fit the 1450

Creepers only go on gear drive tractors. No need for one on a hydro.

Thanks Digger.

About gear reducers I want to change the oil on mine and I don’t see a drain hole. At first I thought it drained with the trans diff combo but I pulled the large plug on the middle right side on the gear reducer and I can see oil just below the hole. The manual says nothing about it. Thanks in advance Digger

Sorry I own a 1962 Original

Martin, the UD6 Creeper/underdrive, for the Original has a drain plug at the bottom, and a level plug on the side. It uses SAE-140.

I am sorry I meant the factory gear reduction box in front of the trans/diff. Unless I missed it I didn’t see a drain hole on the bottom.
Thanks

The transmission drain should also (mostly) drain the reduction drive. The fill level for the transmission is that plug on the right hand side.

Note that there are no seals on the bearings on the "Transmission input shaft" and "Transmission countershaft" between the reduction housing and the transmission.
