    W2100 vs W2000

    I see this an old post, but I talked to a guy about the 2000, 2100 and 2200 (or the new 200, 210 and 220) and he said it depends on where you are using them. He said he would take a 2000 for everything except straight highway work, and a 2100 for all the rest.

    Tractomotive (AC) Transmission Issues

    Iceberg, that is a group II model uses a torque converter drive system with 2 dry-over center multi-disc type clutches. These clutches are not too bad to adjust, but it does say in my manual not too slip these clutches as it can mess them up bad. As far as the engine, it is for sure a re-power...
