Lincoln clusters?
I've found some clusters, the tooth count is 25,22,16,14. Two lugs at back behind the rev gear. What would they be for? Labelled as Ford, but I dunno? What say you?

Re: Lincoln clusters?
LZ gears came with this cluster set. Portion of a table shown on Vanpelt's site.

Re: Lincoln clusters?
LZ gears are stamped Ford, so if the count checks out they should be. The LZ 26 tooth set I have also has the tang on the back of the cluster. It uses a trust washer designed to sit around that tang

I tried to find the 259-8D number in my gear catalogs but failed to find it. I suggest recounting the gear teeth….one or more of the counts you gave could be off one tooth. Report back to confirm the counts and I can have another look.

Re: Lincoln clusters?
Well, a follow up...I've identified WT 259-8D as fitting 1954 Mercury

Re: Lincoln clusters?
The 259-series transmissions were a carry over from the Ford/Borg Warner designs prior to the end of the flathead era. The diamond tooth designs came in for Ford products in 1951. Other manufacturers may have also used the 259-series since several manufacturers used the R10 overdrives. Ford used the 259 in certain light duty applications up into the early 60s. The bearings for the counter shaft changed from the caged design rollers to loose rollers in there somewhere. This is evident in the change of the bore ID of the cluster gears as Mac VP mentioned previously.
