High mileage gearbox.

Hi to all,

The high mileage gearbox that has been on my work bench for it seems ever has a chance of new needle rollers for the lay-shaft, I have found a company selling off old stock non metric sizes.
So I have sent them an e-mail with the sizes that I need with a bit of luck they will turn up with the goods!

New needles.

Hi to all,

I have received some packs of needle rollers for the worn lay-shaft and managed to get them pressed into some fresh grease inside the gear cluster so hopefully this will mean this old worn gearbox will live to travel many more miles.
Spares are getting very hard to find and the change to metric sizes adds to that problem, a rear main-shaft bearing measures at 25.4mm but made at 25mm inside size.

A functional gearbox.

Hi to all,

Well at long last I have managed to piece together a functional gearbox out of the very worn high-mileage one that has been on my work bench for about six months, by keeping the good bits and replacing the badly worn bits.
Just how good or long serving it will be we won't know until it is back into place on the Bedford it came out of, but with a good gearbox additive and the correct grade of gear-oil it should be ok.
