Innards of a freewheeling hub?

The mainshaft end of the Fairey overdrive dog clutch.

This is fixed to the mainshaft in place of the mainshaft gear and then the overdrive unit slides in from the rear PTO hole.

I wasn't aware that the seats for the 52 - 53 were different to those of the 51. I dare say you are right as the last vehicle we have yet to recover is a yellow 53 which is in very poor condition.

Are the seats in these joined as such.

Hi Erich

I believe they were, all the '53 backs I've had were missing the hinge, but I'll check the parts catalogue when I get home.

There were 3 seat back (squab) designs in the 80", the last of those, the square squab, were very unsuccessful and they reverted to the '50-'51 design for the 86" and subsequent models although they had thicker padding in the later S1. The exception was the deluxe bench seat in the front of 107 wagons.

Hi Erich

Have refreshed my memory, the seats are the 1953 type but the single hinge is a modification/retrofit.

The original were short pins attached to a bracket that bolted to the transom and were a major point of failure as the bracket and short pin bent. Having a single axle/pivot would be a good modification to make the seat system work in the long term.

Having a good look I do belive the gearbox shown is a "RingPull" freewheel gearbox It has the two piece front out put casing the number stamped on the side will tell you roughly when it was made.

I believe that you are correct about it being a ring pull box, but don't get confused about the two piece front output casing being an indicator of ring pull.

Vehicles with gearboxes from 06104015 (1950) through to 16102314/16131688 (1951), about 16,000 gearboxes*, still had the split housing with the freewheel unit but the freewheel lock was operated by the yellow button.


* Only about 12,000 gearboxes had the ring pull mechanism

Thanks for the information, I see what you mean by the split housing on later gearboxes. The one in question is 865849, which is one of the earlier ones.


I am hoping it goes with the R8665256 chassis, but that is for another day.
