kpinnc 12,464 #2 Posted August 18, 2011 6 and 8-speeds are the same thing, they were called one or the other based on what the year model of the tractor was. The following thread might help explain that: http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=30676 BUT- an 8-speed from a 1970 Raider 10 will more than likely have a 10-pinion differential. That differential is built to provide "limited slip" traction, but they tend to break under heavy loads. I would definitely not use it for competitive pulling. You would be asking for trouble if you did. The differential is quite easy to swap out to an 8-pinion though. Those are far more rugged. It's also easy to determine which tranny you have. With the rear wheels up off the ground (or the transmission free to turn on both sides), simply rotate one wheel or hub. If the opposite wheel turns the opposite direction, you've got the 8-pinion (far stronger) differential. If it turns the same direction, only slower, it's the weaker 10-pinion. Good luck!
