Gearbox refitted

[sotal]

Managed to get the gearbox refitted yesterday evening in the snow/dark!

All went well in putting it back in and I did a couple of quick tests without the prop shafts connected.

All gears worked well and did as they were supposed to, no funny noises, no leaks (yet).

Could just do with the rest put together and a mot for it so I can use it at the moment! Can't see me being finished until April though

Next job is to attach propshafts and go up and down the drive

Just put one propshaft on, don't matter which one then give 'er a test drive in the garden.

Good to read that your making progress.

My garden isn't that big and would soon be destroyed - Will have to stick to the drive.

Will try it with just the rear prop shaft to start with, it's just so cold and dark all the time. I finished the Gearbox about a month ago - just haven't had time due to christmas, then the drive has been covered in snow since before Christmas.

Just got sick of it in the end and just got on with it on Sunday but could do with it warming up a bit now!

I put both propshafts on tonight, had to do both as I'd left them connected to the diffs so they would spin otherwise. Didn't take long just need a new nut for the rear prop shaft as I had to use one somewhere else where I destroyed a nut.

Seems to work fine in first and reverse going up and down the drive, it's a bit odd sitting on the fuel tank though
