Question on 85 IH S1900

i know im a couple months late on this, but my 87 binder has teh 466 and 5/2 speed. My question/issue is what should i expect the top speed to be? right now the 2 speed is disconnected and i have been searching for transmission gear rations to kinda calculate it, but right now its 55@3000 rpm. After looking through all the 2 speed documentation i can find, i cant definitively determine what position the 2 speed is in. Will it return to the low side if NOT hooked up or will it stay in its current state if not hooked up? I got a great deal on a really clean 87, and dropped a 22ft flatbed on it, i mean this things RUNS great, but 55 mph is KILLING me...
If anybody has any info i would sure appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks for the reply on the two speed, so that being the case. what do you recommending as a high rpm then?? Cause it actually feels right on the governor, and really 55 mph @ ~ 3K?? That would lead me to believe then that i am in the low side. International built what seems like a 100 million of these things and i have been surprised at what i think is a lack of information on the net, google got me here, but much past that, pretty barren. I would put a 7 speed in if i have to, but unless i can find the transmission gear ratios, i wont know where i am, and i am NOT going to swap trannys till i know i can run at least 65 HAHA
Oh yea, its not that the 2 speed is disconnected, electrically its ALL been removed, all the way to the speed adapter.
Just call me willing to do what i have to do to get to 65 lol

I'd suggest sending a PM to member 'Hvytrkmech'. His name is Tim and he's a guru with these things.

no, mine has a "speed adapter" on the transmission that has one of the 2 speed wires on it, the speedo cable goes into that and it into the transmission. The 2 speed motor in the rear end is there and that's all complete. guess ill try tim. Its been a bit frustrating haha

Try putting power to that rear end motor and see if you hear it run. It'll only run for a second or two even with constant power to it. Just run a long jumper off the battery. If you hear it run then you can go out and try it to see if you get some better MPH's out of it!
