I have an older model Vermeer vibratory plow tractor. I originally bough it for the backhoe.(which ironically is on the front) I've removed the backhoe and am currently converting the cable plow apparatus to a proper 3 point hitch. I'd like to change the transmission from the current T-18 manual to a C-4 or C-6 automatic with a manual valve body. This would make it more like a shuttle shift arrangement. The engine is a ford industrial 4 cyl gas. Nobody around here seems to know much about the bolt pattern on the flywheel end. Anybody have a guess as to whether a ford automatic will bolt up? Any guess on the crankshaft bolt pattern? What flexplate to use?
I frequently use this thing to skid logs. It's got plenty of power, 4 wheel drive, and it runs like a watch!
