I currently don't have access to any of my Haflinger books, so can any one tell me which gear ratio is lower:-

5 speed gearbox

1st (Krawler) or Reverse?

I was wondering (as you do) which would be the best way of pulling another vehicle out of a stuck position. Nose in first and reversing or backing up and driving forward?

A July 1962 Repair Manual shows
  • (Crawler gear 7.55)
    1st gear 3.73
    2nd gear 2.18
    3rd gear 1.21
    4th gear 0.71 (0.68)
    reverse gear 3.55
I take it that the numbers in brackets are for the 5 speed box.
