Rob Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have this small Fuller nine speed that was originally behind either a 3208 Cat engine, or a 534 V8 gas in a 1982 L8000 "Louisville" Ford truck. There are no tags on the transmission and when the truck burnt from a carb backfire, the diesel was swapped in and I can't remember if the trans was changed or not. Both trucks were very similar except one was gas, the other diesel.How could one identify this trans as there is no tag on it anywhere.If it were an automobile trans, the vin number would be stamped into the case but no such number has been found.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

theakerstwo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If it is out give me the # on the end of the input shaft and that will help some and the only other way would be is to have a rear yoke off and measure the size of the out put shaft. The real old fuller had the id tag on the top hi left rear and later years went to llower right at the back. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real old fuller had the id tag on the top hi left rear and later years went to llower right at the back.Hi Glenn, it is on a pallet at the shop. This thing looks like a scaled down RT-910. The case is much smaller and uses a 1710 series driveline, (the reason I got it). It has "Eaton" cast into it also.I'll get the numbers from the shaft tonight and post them. The tag is non existant as the truck was a fertilizer spreader and everything steel and aluminum was corroded. One can see where the holes are that attached the tag as the drive rivets remnants are still in place but the tag is gone.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

It is on a pallet next to a RTO-12513 for size comparison. I've never seen this transmission work and was told it was a nine speed. I got the rolling chassis minus engine for the driveline and would like to use this trans for another project I'm thinking about.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

That is the only one I found.Thanks,Rob I know that it will go on that trans but that trans is in the later years and is that trans you have got the same size front box as that 13 speed there? The trans that i think it is has a smaller front box but a big back box.The saft cane fit in other trans also. It will fit a small 8LL speed also.

Zack88b Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) So I recently picked up a 1160 cat with a fuller transmission but I can't find the Id tag all I have found is it says fuller on the top of it in the casting, underneath fuller it also says 8-31-67. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Edited April 26, 2020 by Zack88b To add picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
