hellblue Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 As some will know Andy got home from CF show (JUST) after a hole in the tail shaft of the gearbox What caused it ??? The broken bits are Gearbox Gearbox mount Propshaft The cause....... a seized UJ (the props front one) You can see how HOT it all got by the colour of it & the wear can bee seen too We got the new box in last night & rebuilt the prop tonight with a new bit from my propshaft stock all we need now is the road test results
