Not a good weekend for projects sadly.
Today felt like a good time to tackle the the gearbox rebuild.

So far, so successful.
Next tackling the output shaft.

Was going extremely well...until it came to dismantle third.

This was not coming off and the prognosis wasn't good. Rough running third gear with swarf coming out of it.

The layshaft's damaged beyond repair and so was third gear.
Luckily the layshafts can be had brand new and I managed to find third gear.
So sadly that's the cost of a used gearbox, but then that tells me for scrimping on the gearbox.
The layshaft's coming from Japan so I'll have to park this rebuild for now.
