Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
Very happy to report that the gearbox is all apart and appears to be in excellent condition. No broken teeth, bronze bush fitting well, no blockages in the oil hole feeds to this and no apparent bearing wear. I guess it was well restored before my tenure! On the instructions of the previous owner, I have always filled with gear oil, perhaps this has been helpful. On dismantling I noticed that only jointing compound, no gasket, was used on the bearing holder and front/rear casting faces. Red hematite was used, I would use Blue Hylomar unless there are any other suggestions?
