Thanks for making this vid. I'm right in the middle of this same project on my '58 bus (differential is on the other side on buses). Same discovery: 1st gear was abused. Amazingly, I was able to find a new old stock mainshaft today on Ebay, talk about luck! Hope you have the same. Cheers from Alaska 👍

13:00 Holy Hell! That big bearing is halfway out of its seat! No wonder it had issues.

The condition of that 1st gear is either from horrible clutch adjustment or someone with no patience at intersections. My personal practice is to tickle the 2nd gear synchro before diving into 1st. Also, 1st is so granny, nobody in their right mind would (or could) downshift into it.

What about it if it’s stuck in first gear and you are trying to put in nature

Hi there. Will you be posting a video of putting it back together?

It's all on hold as we are going through massive changes at work, moving workshops and all sorts of other stuff that has taken me away from any projects. And I can't find a good input shaft... But I have got a couple of synchromesh gearboxes so might have s look at one of them and then fit that. Oh and I need a new camera, the other one died. But hopefully happening soon

If you stop the video at 16:19 you'll see the two straight cut gears that form the first gear. As you can see they are not meshing. There's a set of intermediate gears in the other half of the cage that slides into those two gears when you engage reverse gear. If you stop the video at 14:09 you can see the pair of little intermediate gears that form the reverse gear.
