meadowfield 1,900 #76 Posted June 27, 2014 been busy today My plan works, but boy is it tight in there, the diff has to go in one way and I have an inch to get the additional bits in. turning one side down to make room for the bolts - note the oil in the spindle oiler the selector cage all together in the lock position I've started work on the selector fork and slider, now it's getting tighter. It's a good job I don't need all the gears 2 ranger and jak3_smith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #77 Posted June 29, 2014 Managed another half day today, getting fed up now.... But nearly there, I keep having to bolt it all together to try it then unbolt to do the next bit. It's so tight I'm having to turn the heads down on bolts to give me clearance! Here's the selector linkage parts. And together working Back at work all week, so that's it for a while. Tour de France at the weekend, so might not get much done then either 1 diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 1,900 #90 Posted July 27, 2014 Been a while.... Distracted with this. My locking diff With heavy duty hubs Re bushing the brake pedal, after making it a bit shorter. Bearing carriers for the intermediate drive shaft Final strengthening plates on the rear sub frame, just needs painting. The collection of bits to build the last bit of transmission That's about it, I have been cleaning and painting four wheels - no pics, it's a bit dull. Gonna be slow progress for a while, got a weekend with my mates in cambridge next week followed by final show of the year at driffield. 4 ranger, rotoscytheben, the showman and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
