Have now moved on to sussing the engine and gearbox mountings, got the engine up and more or less in situ on the crane and decided to "pull" the gearbox up from below with a couple of slings.....after getting the alignment for the diff and splined shaft of the gearbox somewhere near I decided to mate the gearbox up .....much cussing then some more and an hour later the geabox makes that luuuuurrvely noise "clunk" as it mates up with the spigot bearing, good job as well the gearbox was going to get a right thrashing with a broom handle
will be double checking alignment tomoz and then drilling attaching mounts for good....then of course engine oot again

engine and gearbox in situ.....and the wooden engine mount IS temporary
