right the primary is beginning to come apart and on first examination we found A: no oil or very little left in it.. B: the remants of a ball bearing carrier shattered and spread about inside the casings we think the inner bearing has broken up and this is what has locked her solid, she must have been starting to "die" when Dave was still using her but I suppose the locking up would have been gradual and go unnoticed..
we will try and get the cross shaft out of her tomorrow (one with variator on) and then we can assess if the primary input shaft/gear is total toast or not

Is the primary drum in bits? Everything marked up to go back the same way to maintain balance?

Looking forward to picks of it as it comes apart, Nick! Yes, I do hope you have taken a lot of photos Nick. So many people have never seen the inside of a gearbox before. Any documentation will be a welcome help for so many. John

wel progress has been a bit slow due to icicles everywhere but today I got the air line out and blew the fuel line through, and cleaned the master cylinder resoivour out a bit and filled her with fluid.. so now she appears to have a brake pedal, and runs on her own juice (god knows how long its been in the tank though).. getting my primary this weekend so this time next week she should be movable under her own steam and the welding can commence

Hi Nick, You were asking about wheel options for the 46 on facebook ?? What exactly are we talking about ?? Wheel Sizes ?? Types of wheels ?? or Tyre sizes ?? The wheels on Reenie are the correct ones from the factory. John
