Found NP540, but need help to decipher tag

Posted by D Roberts [199.46.200.231] on Monday, June 20, 2011 at 15:25:48 :

I found an NP540 transmission in a local salvage yard. It was in a 1974 D600, with an industrial 413 engine.

I didn't buy it, though, because I wasn't sure what ratio it had for 5th gear.

The only identifying information on the transmission was on a tag, which I kept.

The tag reads:

MODEL 540
RATIO 741
SERIAL 9 4 73
ASSEM. NO. 3733174 DL162

Can you help me to interpret this tag?
