Starting the tune up: shift cross

The primary gear has beem sorted so now it’s just a matter of putting all the ready made pieces in place, should be easy right! Yeah you guessed it: wrong…

First thing we did was build up the Christmas tree, so basically putting all the gears on the primary shaft, replacing the shift cross and assemble. That went ok, had a little trouble with locking washer but sorted that out also. Replaced the bearings and seals ready to receive the primary axel.



Lesson one, do not hammer the axel in place with the shift cross installed!


The axel needs quite some persuasion so while hitting it with an hammer, as one done on a piece of precision engineering, all the force was trnasferred directly onto the shiftcross, causing it to nicely snap off all four legs...
