I wasn't sure about my toploader so I decided to try and tell if it was a close or wide ratio version. Here's what i found out. I made a mark on my drive shaft and turned the crank in 1st gear until the drive shaft completed a full rotation. I had to turn the crank 2 full turns and then approx. 3/4 turns more to get the mark back around on the drvshft. I think this means I have a wide ratio. Right?

Yup, the wide ratio has a 2.78 low gear, while the close ratio is 2.32.
