Your solution for the reverse lockout is genius! I'm a mechanical engineer as my day job and the simplicity ans effectiveness of that system really made me smile, keep up the excellent work!

[@oakswamp]

cheers man....simple is key i think👍

[@rustandoil]

Liking the reverse lock out.... Nice thinking 👍🏼👍🏼

[@oakswamp]

Thanks 👍

[@chrisclark4813]

Don't know what was more impressive, the gearbox remote linkage 'reconfigure' or the welding/music sync. Loved it all. cheers bud.

[@oakswamp]

thanks alot Chris 👍

[@fartingduck5316]

I have two friends, I've shared with both.

[@stephenpickering9831]

Seriously impressed with your adaptation of the gearbox internals and the design of the remote change. I like the way you think outside the box or in this case the gearbox. A much neater end result than my effort to overcome exactly the same issue. The music tracks are excellent and seem to fit perfectly. The editing of the whole thing keeps you entertained even if your not a complete "petrol head". Keep in coming.

[@oakswamp]

kind words thanks Steve...pretty easy mod to be honest ...was only made a pain by the piece that i found in the bottom making me strip the gearbox...the other gearbox had the same bit loose and broken too...must be a common fault

[@MiniLifeCrisis]

Love how you sorted the reverse gear problem, nice one 👍

When renewing a hardy Spicer, I have found that if one circlip fits nicely and the opposite one doesn't, it could mean that a needle has slipped out and is lying in the bottom of the cup.
