That's a pretty nasty 1st gear.
If I had an NV4500 I might swap an open diff 2.54 rear end my friend has on his pickup bed trailer.
All I have to do is give him my old axle or help him buy a trailer axle (if I want to keep my old axle).

Yeah the TH700R4 only weighs around 120lb. So 200lb for a cast iron NV4500 isn't as bad as I thought.
