As you will probably remember we have had a problem with the gearbox case. it has two pivot points for the trasmission brake, but as you can see the ali on these is really rotten:
This ancient aluminium does not weld, and as stopping is quite crucial, we bit the bullet and Father cut it all away:
which was a *od of a job and took him an age and a lot of knackered tools.
Anyway, the plan is to replace the rotten ali altogether with a new steel bracket bolted on to the gearbox.
It should all work out fine in theory and Greater War truck is doing a fine job, but it is taking a while to do. Still a lot more to be done yet, but he is getting there.
