Quite impressive! You really have to get a feel for the ratios in each box and where you're at speedwise. They have multiple ratios that make the difference, especially loaded. Thanks for sharing!
Hmm! Missed out on learning to master this type of tranny! Instead of going to the wussie automatic these companies needs to go back in time to this! #Keepontruckin 😉👌💯
This is a 5 speed and a 4 speed. 5 is on the far left 4 speed to the right. 5 is the main transmission 4 speed is your auxiliary. I usually us 2-3-4 in auxiliary when loaded and shifting. So depending the situation and load weight I will start go thru the auxiliary shift up the main down shift auxiliary and so on. There is definitely ether videos that explain it better and you can see more shifting
The ones you are referring to are nothing more than a fancy splitter for a 13/18 speed. This is a true and genuine twin stick truck. Two gear boxes, primary and auxiliary. Your auxiliary box works similarly to the splitter button on a 13/18. You work through a primary gear by climbing through the auxiliaries.
Always hated the phrase "grinding" gears. Aint nothing wrong with a little tickling. Now take that bad boy up to Manhattan on a Tuesday afternoon. Youll get real comfortable with it then.
Nothing better than a truck with a
Caterpillar and a 5 and a 4 speed. OUTSTANDING. ! 🇺🇸👍

Thank you. Definitely still perfecting them after 2 years of running them full time
Sounds like a healthy old truck
Just a little grind here and there but pretty darn good.
Thank you, 2 years running them full time, still learning and scratch a few during the day.
Where’s the toothpicks driver
The main box shifter is usually on the left. Yours seems to be different?
Yes my main is towards the right auxiliary on left, which is nice as I’m usually working the auxiliary thru out the day.
Mack Quad Box 5x4 had compound on the left, main on right, but their Triplex 5x3 had main on left, compound on right.
Absolutely beautiful…OLD SCHOOL…if only we could find drivers if this calibre today…what we get today is beyond incompetent…🇺🇸😡
the first 5x4 i drove in the late 80s, the brownie was on the left beside my leg. 72 loadstar with 394 gas jobby tandem dumptruck

Yes they do. If you can drive these you're not just a steering wheel holder!
Why do these guys make this look so complicated?
Listen to that Kitty Cat. Music to my ears.
Nothing more fun 😊
I see the insulation keeps the sticks from getting cold
Thankfully yes, the heat doesn’t work to well. I even took the vent piping and faced it towards the sticks to help in keeping them warm.
We always slid heater hose over them to keep them from singing. The vibration would make them noisy.
whats going on here i thought the second stick was basically a range selector but i can see im clearly wrong

A person can put the auxiliary stick wherever he likes
