Two Stage Gearbox check

Back to the workshop today – How fun to be back in the shop after such a great two weeks with Nicole , Bill and Terak. Deb and I are so blessed to have such a nice daughter, son-in-law and grandson.
Todays picture shows me with several projects on the workbench . I am holding a throttle linkage for modifying for the Waldon loader, and holding the 2 stage gearbox for inspection after I hit a hard object and sheared the shearbolt. It looks fine . Also got some frame parts to be painted and on the end is the jd 110 engine ready for mounting. Also going to pull the front blade and rear scraper off the mini jd 4020 and mount the rear three point crane and fabricate some pallet forks for moving items in and out of the shop. Then I am going to get the front blade for the Bolens Diesel and get it all painted . I am going to put it on craigslist to sell next week with the blade and the 2 stage snowblower. It has a front and rear pto . The engine needs a rocker arm and a sleeve for number 1 cylinder and it will make someone a awesome little 4×4 diesel tractor. I’m no mechanic when it comes to engines so this will be a great buy for someone who does know how to work on little engines.
Have a great Friday !!
