I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the NP201. I found a divorced one dated 1959. It has 1.94 to 1 ratio cast into the case and looks very similar to a 205. It also has the driveline brake drum which I thought was kinda cool. I guess what I'm wondering about is the strength compared to a 205. I know it is stronger than the Rockwell that's there now but just wondering if anyone here had any experience with this case and any parts availability.
