What kind of transmission does a champion grader have?
That grader may not have an 8400 transmission. It could have a 9150 if it is a power shift. Or it could have a 9138 with a power range shift. 1984 was the year everything was changing over at Champion and if memory serves me correctly they went Cummins in ’84 and 8400 transmission in ’85. If it is a 9150 it may have a torque converter or a clutch.
