Gear Headquarters in Kansas City, Kansas can make you what you want.....John Lewman at 913-831-1700....I thought one could just buy a length of splined shafting ready to go, but I guess not. You'll want it made of 4140 or 8620 steel. I'm a little concerned that your choice in gears might not be strong enough for the torque you're going to run thru them.?? Gears from SCS or Pro-Fab I know are strong enough.

Yes scs or profab. I was looking at a winters chart when I wrote that.

I'd ask SCS or ProFab first if they'd sell you some shafting. If not, call Gear Headquarters. Winters gears are for stock car rear axles and I don't believe are what you want.

Going to try to build my own overdrive box to put in my Tourque tube either work or it won't

The overdrive ratio already inside the torque tube isn't good enough?? or too fast?? or too slow??

I'm thinking you need a .9 instead of .8 ....

Thanks for the help Doc! I get it drawled up and measures I'll post it

I say that because the OEM is a 20% speed-up from direct to over-drive. For example 15.5 MPH to 19.3 MPH is 19.7%, so lets call it 20% even. I'd think you'd want to be half-way between there with a 10% increase and that's why I feel .9 to 1 over-drive would give you what you want.

I figure 25 to 1 and that had me at .899 when you do old math that I didn't do I should have rounded up at .9. I'm hoping to be able to change gear sets thru pd valve hole.

How are you going to split shaft to get top gear off shaft?

Let me sell you one of my gear boxes and you just have to split it at front of trans. to change Ro. MACK

His tractor is a 7000. Might take some changes for your gearbox to fit ??

Yep Mack mines a 7000!! Leave it to me to build a freak. But I can say no rear end trouble so far.
