    Hi Buc and Mumbles
    Well done Buc getting it appart, but I thought that oil was specified for the gearbox……that looks like grease to me!?
    I have the same model and tried to dismantle the gearbox about 40years back,but didnt have a puller then, so mabey I should give it another try, after seeing your success and thanks
    Mumbles for mentioning about the bearing housing.

    Cheers

    Monte, I sent you a PM about the Owner’s Manual. Perhaps it tells in there
    about the gear case lube…… guess I’m not 100% sure.
    There’s a ball bearing under the drive shaft seal. Mine rotates
    freely, so I’m guessing it good. I’m not pulling the seal out
    until I have a new one in hand.

    Prepare to be boarded!
