Post Tranny Fun (I hope)

I'll go make some popcorn, this should be fun .

I hope you've discovered an older F.L.A.P.S. with a printed BOWER/BCA catalog for the bearing part numbers .

When I worked on old gearboxes like this in the 1970's all the roller bearings were right on the shelf .

Once the rollers in the bag were the wrong size, (visibly) , I had to talk the counterman who knew nothing about how things actually work into ordering another bag of rollers, a real learning moment for him when he matched the next order with the ones on the shelf...

I'm keen to see what you find inside .

I ass-U-me you're going to lay out all the parts side by side and cherry pick the best one before re assembly ? .

Be sure to inspect the snap ring on the front input shaft's new bearing ~ I once got one with a slightly thicker snap ring and it broke the bearing retainer when I buttoned it up .
