if it has spin outs and a 4 speed.... its a CA
does not have a platform.... but one photo of the right rear looks like a CA hyd pump.

I am currently in the middle of putting a CA transmission in my B. I doubt I'm the first.

Makes for a much more user friendly B,wish I'd of had a 4 speed in the B I used to cultivate corn with back in the day.

I'm hoping so.
Also, I need the road gear to get it up to the speed needed to do the Mackinac Bridge Vintage Tractor Crossing which is a goal of mine- using my Dad's B, which was also the kind of tractor (though not THE tractor) that my Grandpa started with when he bought his farm.

Hough, i thought the 4 speed had a lower low gear and just a little different in high (4th compared to 3rd in the B) ?? Do you know the final drive gear ratios of the B compared to the CA ?? What road speed are you trying to get ?

I did the math, but it's been a while. I will look for my figures.
I need to be able to sustain 10 mph. A stock B, and mine runs great, does just under 8 mph in 3rd. My math got me to about 14.5 mph at 1,600 rpm using the CA transmission and B finals (yes, the bolt up).
