Short Shaft Slip Yoke 727's in Old Airport Tugs?

SMR transmissions

Thanks, but they don't have anything.


I think that A100 vans and trucks also had short shaft transmissions in them. They had a lug on top of the tailshaft housing that the transmission mount bolted to.

Edit- I just went and looked thru @Jim Kueneman thread on his A100 truck, and the pic of his transmission shows it to be a ball & trunnion style. Not sure if the later ones would be a slip yoke, but I seem to remember my buddy having a V8 truck with a 727 and slip yoke shorty transmission.

As far as I know all of those A100's had a Ball & Trunnion style.



Thus the reason I started this thread. I don't think there were ever any short slip yoke transmissions used in highway application vehicles, but there might have been in vocational application like the airport tugs. @Demonracer might be the only hope in my quest to find out.
