I rarely post here but I come here and find new info daily. For my question.......

I Have my NP231 apart and notice on the planetary chunk that it's predrilled for what seems like "6" gears. Can three more gears be added to the existing "3", or am I way off base? :dunno:

Thanks.........Take a look on the link that you provided at the last pic on the bottom of the stock 3 pinion planetary. Why couldn't you add 3 more pinions in the spaces that are left "blank" from the factory?

Thats what he did in that article, he swapped to a 6 planetary gear setup out of a 241
