I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.

I'm grasping the horsepower per ton ratio, but the more pics I look at the more different combinations I see. Forward A/reverseA, ForwardA/ForwardA, standard ABA, ABBB, 2forward, one reverse, 1forward/2reverse, on and on and on. I'm sure there's a method to the madness, but I sure don't know it! Also (I hate to admit) What kind of transmission set up do they have that I assume allows them equal power forward or reverse? Thanks for helping a newbie!
