I don’t remember many Sunday sermons from my childhood, but in one, the minister talked about rebuilding a Triumph motorcycle, and how he disassembled the transmission only to discover that there was a “secret chant” you needed to know or it wasn’t going back together. 😄
We used safety wires on military helicopters to make sure nuts did not wander off. It is the best way to secure nuts. You just have to know how to use them but they are better than locknuts in my opinion. Tie the nuts in the direction against how they will loosen, righty tighty lefty loosely LOL.
I would be very interested to know how that 1st motion shaft sheared without putting a tremendous amount of force on another component during the shear???
You're absolutely correct, it would have broken something. I believe it was "harvested" for another use. One of the previous owners made plugs from several pieces of sheet metal and cut other parts up. You'll see that in later videos. It wasn't something I noticed at first and I really didn't do the greatest job of inspecting the "car" before I bought it. Certainly a lesson learned.
Good idea. I didn't think about that. The plan was to take everything out, clean, inspect and paint the two castings while it was apart. It might have been less mess to clean the outside first and is definitely something I'll consider in the future. I certainly made a huge mess in the shop and it would have been cleaner to power wash everything outside. I didn't actually have a power washer at the time so maybe that was why I didn't think about.
@@therestorationshop Aha, my worry when doing things on printing presses is/was getting dirt where it shouldn't go. I don't see the need for a powerwasher ...
that safety wire looks a lot like hand-brake cable wire on old bicycles. ...probably not the right stuff. should be solid wire not braided. and these transmissions, like most manuals, is assembled and disassembled like a chinese puzzle. very clever....
Really disappointing. very interesting material to work with. and all you do is talk boringly. the gear knob was turned in our hands half the time. besides, not showing how they disassembled. but disassembly is almost the most interesting thing.

Perfect description! The whole layshaft install is kinda crazy. You really have to have a dummy shaft.

I have used chassis grease or white grease to hold the loose needle bearings in place during assembly.
White grease is a fantastic idea, thanks for the tip!
Yup!
Also put the bearings in the freezer overnight before installing. Good tip also!

I had expected you to clean the outside of the transmission as step 1, there no doubt was a reason why you didn't, what was it?

I don't understand haters.
It would be good if we could hear you.
Sorry for the audio issues. I need to get a remote mic. I think some of the later videos are better. I'll be upgrading all my gear pretty soon.
Volume is really low brother
