Sahfts are in, some re-wiring done. Oils in both boxes. Tomorrow will be the shifters and some exhaust bracketry. I will need to fabricate the brackets as the old ones are munted beyond repair. Fingers crossed I will drive it tomorrow.

I drove it for the 1st time just a minute ago. All good. Just need to do some bracketry during the week for the exhaust and I will be happy as a pig in poo. Should be good to head home to the farm at easter and kill a couple of Porkers.
RIP - valued member and true gentleman of this forum that will be missed by many!

well done on getting the box of cogs out, fixing it, and getting it back in.
Legendary performance! Thanks for the tips on shaking the engine. I have used long bolts minus the heads, threaded into the bell housing to help line things up. Makes my frustration at getting a front axle in, pale into insignificance!!!!
Re the GL4 - they'll know what you are talking about at the shop. Decide what viscosity you want - for my old GQ it was Caltex VX-M or something like that per the factory manual - for the manual transmission. Aiming for easier gear changes from first to second on Brisbane winter mornings :-) I think it is 75 or 80 W - 90,
