i have a 1956 ford 800 with a 5speed transmission I have been told they make a roto gear that you can install to lower the gear ratio can any one verify this?

I've never heard of a "roto gear", and I've never heard of lowering a gear ratio other than with an auxiliary transmission which is not compatible with a five speed trans. If you are trying to run a rototiller behind your tractor, you may find the ground speed is too fast for a tiller unless your soil is very sandy. Welcome to the forum by the way, lots of good info here.

Hey Bellingham - welcome to TBN and the forum from over here on the east side. Does you local Ford dealer have any info on a "roto gear".
