Manu your pilot

Thanks Flo....but mine is already ordered

Started working on the Gearbox, after a good clean up of all parts i started the assembly process

Took the mainshaft apart and started installing the bearings.



While installing the first flanged bearing, i forced it a bit ( well a bit too much )



Well it appeared that the shaft wasn't sanded enough



Finally installed the bearing



The same with the countershaft



The next step is to assembly the Gearbox and make sure my measurements are correct and test if it shifts smoothly



Other step is to check if the Gears are perfectly aligned

Beautifull Manu.

Assembly for testing continues



Gearbox now assembled for testing



It appeared that by pulling the shift lever top right ( low 4x4 gear ) the spacing was too big between both shafts



Dissasemble everything again and put a 1mm extra washer on the coutershaft.
Everything fits perfectly now, the shifting is perfect and smooth

Extra washer installed



Fitting all the parts into their cases





Upper part ready to assemble



Gearbox ready to be installed into the chassis

A gearbox should be exposed. It is a oeuvre d'art. Yours is really shiny.

The problem is that the 540 motor does not have the pinion on !
I presume it should be the same as the Wild Willy, pressed on the rotor.




If someone has such a motor laying around i'd be happy to buy it !

Let me check on that pinion I have a replacement gearbox that includes the motor.

Mmm bad news, not the same.
