What kind of transmission does a D7F tractor have?

New Zealand yep 94N5775 has both 3306; earlier was D333C; and the later smaller transmission; problem with the earlier D7E trans was it went from 1200rpm with the D339 to 2000rpm with the D333C and it didn’t like it should be a reasonable tractor.
