January 2022

Mounted the transmission on the engine stand and opened it up for inspection. The only real issue was a shift collar that was worn a bit. I built it up with weld and had a friend machine it back to spec. Installed new shift shaft seals. Painted it and mounted it to the engine on the cart. Disassembled the steering gear (found some wood slivers inside.) Cleaned it up completely and rebuilt it.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
