The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 78-7006 is this a special transmission case?

Richard at the Early V-8 Garage showed me a transmission with this case last week. He said it came out of a 4 Cyl Tractor. It had a very strange gear set in it. Low and reverse was straight cut while the rest of the gears were helical. The main shaft had straight splines to go with the straight cut low and reverse slider. It used the late type syncro with individual blocker rings and second gear appeared to be the same as a 39-48. It appeared to have a VERY LOW First Gear, I believe the input gear was 14 Teeth which would make the cluster have 30 teeth on the mating gear. This would all make sense beings it was used in a tractor.
