I bought the broken & cracked (date coded) case and the broken & cracked hog nose kicker cover from Les in February. We rounded up a broken & cracked ratchet top - and Pat Lehmann welded up all the broken & cracked bits. Then McFarland machined everything. Then McFarland's kid, Randy did some more work for me. Then Benassi's and a couple other people sold me a box of gears which I went through and tossed all the junk. Then I bought stuff on Ebay and at a couple more swap meets this last spring. Then dad rounded up a bunch more small parts he had stashed . . . and Finally I got it all together, and it shifts and everything !
Even though I've done about a dozens of these transmissions now, you still learn a lot about mechanics with each build. Things come up, problems and road blocks during assembly. It keeps your mind sharp and I feel it's somewhat more constructive than watching television or playing on a phone.
