Got the apron off and it is full of grease and crap. Nothing appears to be obviously broken but it is going to need a lot of cleaning to see what is going on in there. I'm going to make up a bracket so that I can fit it to my engine stand and then pressure wash the crap out of it.
Why do people insist on forcing grease through the oil nipples
The red circle indicates what appears to be the latching mechanism to hold the feed selector in place. There is a spring hiding under that grease, as well as a longer one that runs the length of the apron. I may have to post the drawings once I have this cleaned up, as I may need some help figuring it all out:
Red bearing grease and crap everywhere!
A better look at the gear box. I am so happy that all seems to be OK in there, as that would be a big box of fun to dismantle and put back together again!
