I picked up a sherman splitter from a WC today. It is complete and in good shape, but I dont know if it is a step up or step down. Which position is direct drive? It only has 2 positions. Someone said that the step downs had 3 positions, direct, neutral and low..

Any help? I need a step down...

The problem with reading MLPANKEYS posts, is that they dont make boots that tall.

I would think you could turn the input shaft and compare it to the output and then shift it and do the same. One way has to be straight thru and the other is either slower or faster.

I'll measure them later tonight when I get home. I think they are wide.
