Hello Dick.. I hope this finds you well and enjoying the end of Summer.
I started to tear down a recently acquired TR-6 gearbox for rebuilding,
and noticed a very strange serial #. I am familiar with the CD/CC
numbering system, and all other boxes I have ever seen in 25 years have
that numbering system.
This gearbox has the serial # D16A75. It is stamped in characters
smaller than that used for the CD/CC numbers, and is also upside down
and backwards from the way CD/CC numbers are stamped.
There are also a couple of smaller letter and number stamps, perhaps
suggesting the marks of other
technicians who also worked on the gearbox or is sub-assemblies. I see
no evidence that an original CD/CC seral number has been ground off and
replaced with the D16A75. This appears to be a later TR-6 gearbox, given
the rear of the mainshaft uses a nyloc nut.
Any assistance in determining the status of this box would be
appreciated. My initial guess is that it might be a prototype of some
sort, but thats only a guess.
Best regards from the woods of Southampton County VA.
Jim
