Thats why i asked how long it had been since it ran, as LA said there will now be surface rust on things, especially the bearings, now its been sitting for a couple of months.Quote:

I have already bought new seals and other bits n pieces I had the intention of replacing them anyway.
I just need to put the hoist together and get the box out, now.
The things we do for fun!
Hey Steve
How did you go with the removal?????
Andrew
Just one thing hangover, when you join the transfer case and the gearbox take specail care not to damage the seal between the two, if you do it will leak as soon as you get it going again, thats what happened to mine. All that time to get it out and the bastard still leaks. :twisted:
All in one !!!!!
She is an oldie!!!!
Andrew
I want other stuff off the donor, like dash board, extractors, etc
I have been taking them off as I go.
Those dashboards are a right $h1t to get out, but anyhow I have it mostly ready for removal I just want to remove the actual extractors, (have exhaust off) and put my hoist together.
I bought a new hoist for $200 as apposed to $45 a day hire!
So once the hoist is put together I can undo the mounts and lift it out.
I have a few days off next week so I hope to at least get the both boxes out and replace the seals n stuff on the new-ish box.
Hi
Whoooo I have EVENTUALLY got my replacement LT95 in the RR. Only took me about...........well way too long.
Friday my FIL and I got the box back in with much pushing n shoving.
Then yesterday I couldn't remember if I torx'd the pressure plate before we put the box back in so I pulled it back out again!!!!! guess what, yes they were tight. :mad:
but on the plus side I noticed one of the split washers on one of the bolts had spread open and needed replacing.
Anyhow yesterday after the box was back in I turned the key but it wouldn't start. I checked the HT leads, battery, even used Start u bastard. It wouldn't start.
Then I noticed I had disconnected the fuel pump when pulling out the dashboard ooops.
Fired up straight away not bad considering it hasn't been started in months.
hmmm long post either way I'm pretty pleased now. I just need to put the rest back together and and and and and and ........
As others said, very likely to have rust on gear teeth and bearings. Hope it is ok.
If you pull the covers off (simple), you can get a good look at the condition of the gears - large cover on top, smaller cover on left side and larger sloping cover on underside of t/case, also circular pto cover.
Also they have an oil strainer that you should remove and clean out before and after flushing. Be careful that you line the strainer up properly (inner and outer seats) - otherwise it will be crushed (plastic).
If you still have some of the oil you could check if it is water in it by heating some which will boil off any water. You would then know if you had a problem.
