Hi there im looking to buy a 2650 2 wheel drive,the gears are on the floor is it possible to change the gear position to the side of the seat like on the larger models , thanks in advance !

Depends how much time and money you want to throw at it!
Would mean cab off and splitting the tractor, removing the lift to replace all the shifter shafts and fit the shifter arms, you’d need to check the diff housing was compatible,
then there’s the linkages and cab parts.

Personally I’d find one with the side shift if that’s what you want

Any reason why you’d want to change? I’ve got 1 with the gears in the middle and find it much easier than a tennis elbow gearbox.

Just bought one of these with the gears on the floor, is there any real difference in the models?

It's an SG2 cab I believe

Cab is a bit more basic, they were cheaper new. Still a very good tractor.

Now Then..
You have a low profile SG2, sometimes referred to as a centre shift. It looks an early one with the square button to release the bonnet.
All the tractors are the same under the cab. The low profile had centre shift, usually only one SCV and a cheaper seat. It depends how it was Spencer as they were generally aimed at the livestock and more thrifty sectors..
