Having watched this series from the beginning and been increasingly impressed as you've posted successive installments, Gav, it seems that even though you've ruled out titles for yourself such as Wizard, Sorcerer, Warlock, etc., there still remain fitting and appropriate candidates for a title that you could wear proudly. At this point, some combination of Master of Suspense, Worker of Miracles, Fearless Adventurer, and Gifted Humorist are all in the running.
Thanks Noah. I am beginning to dabble in the arts of magic making. I doubt I'll ever reach the status of wizard but hopefully gain enough powers to conjure up the secret numbers for a lottery win. That bloody gearbox cost a bit to repair.
Entertaining, informative, and easy step by step instruction for Dummies like me. This should be used by others who have Channels on UA-cam as an example of how to film and communicate without all the unnecessary Chatter and Rock music. Thanks Foreman.
I am really enjoying the videos as I am going through the same process. One tip - you may be already aware, the clutch shaft has a cross hole which fixes the connecting tube - the angle of this cross hole relative to the fork is important and is specified in the service manual. I missed this and ended up having to remove the gearbox to correct it. See “Setting withdrawal shaft” in the manual. Keep up the great work and good luck.
Crikey! Andy you have saved the day. I was not aware of what you have outlined and thanks for pointing that out so I can rectify the problem before it's too late. There are some huge advantages with displaying ones work on a public platform. There have been numerous cases where my audience has saved me from myself. Thanks.
@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures Mr Foreman - in addition to Andy's comment you need to set the rear face of the thrust bearing of the Clutch Release mechanism according to whether your vehicle is RHD or LHD...refer to the LR Series 1 Workshop Manual (which is available FOC online - see drive.google.com/file/d/1OG60XR0EzYlHG3_BzQqJFfRuaT0KIH2a/view) - Enjoy!
For someone who is a self proclaimed shade tree mechanic you are very knowledgeable. I like the smattering of jazz. Sounds like you have the same bird that wakes me up in the morning.
so good, you've become a master mechanic throughout the series, good work mr foreman

Greetings from Switzerland ! I always very much enjoy watching your restoration and travel videos ! 40 years ago I traveled all the US from East to West and North to South in a old Landrover 109 from 1960 .... great memories ! And yesterday my "new" 50 year old serie II 88 LR just past successfully the Swiss vetrean car exam ... and now I'm mounting back all the stuff they didn't wanted to see on it ... they wouldn't even allow a steering wheel knob ;-) ... Fortunately, I was allowed to leave my mechanical winch installed ... as well as the rear hook as a exeption because I own a old small trailer too ... guess you don't need to deal with such problems over there :-)
Great stuff Gav. I loved that you didn't edit out the press pushing on the planet earth. Saw that straight away and laughed when it lifted. BTW never press a new bearing in by pressing on the inner race, if it is tight it will damage the bearing as the load is passed through the surface of the balls. You need to find a big enough piece of tube so that you press against the outer only. But hey as an old landy owner and fan from Kiwi land I really love your videos. Cheers and thanks for sharing.
Greetings David, my press idea was a little wonky. I agree with pressing the outer race of a bearing when being pushed into a housing but when pushing onto a shaft or when a shaft gets pressed in, I would think the opposite to be true. Say G'day to all your Kiwi folk down in the land of the long white cloud for me. It's a great place.
@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures Yes you are correct. Press on the outer for a housing and the inner for a shaft. It's just a matter of not pressing via the balls or rollers. Sad to see our Aussie mates getting hit by the covid. We are a bit safer here in NZ. (crossing fingers and toes)
Loving your work. I'm currently rebuilding my SIII transfer box and having a right fun time with string and fishing scales. I'm lying of course but I can't wait to see how you get on to find out how badly I've stuffed up.
I was distracted by the flyrod next to the press then my mind wondered off to warm late spring afternoons and grasshopers on Tantangra Creek, no wonder you can't concentrate, I'll have to rewatch the entire video now. Lovely job as always, we are still swearing at our gearbox.
Oi there Steve! You can certainly be forgiven for your distractions of fly fishing the great outdoors. That rod you saw has cobwebs all over it and has seen little use. Extreme heat, savage drought and howling winds have made bass fishing a little slow. What challenges are you experiencing with your gearbox? And the electric conversion, is that still too costly? I can see many of us needing such a thing in the not too distant future.
@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures I have sold the electric project to a better healed mate of mine that has the cash required to do it, it is still happening but he is more easily distracted than me so it is slow, I will do an up the date episode when there is something to put up the date.
Hi mate thanks for another entertaining video, you really are starting to look like a pro putting that all together, can't wait to see it all up and running again. Looking forward to the next instalment. Mick 👍👏🍻
Superb video and knowledge. Appreciate your precise language, attention to camera angles and endless stream of wisdom. Coming from a Landcruiser background I find the design of this transmission and bell housing very odd, so many opportunities for leaks to occur?
I believe the Land Rovers are famous for their oil leaks. Most folk say if there isn't a puddle of oil beneath your Rover it's time to put more in. Glad you like the films.
I can see episode 63 - gearbox reassembly continued, only pulling your leg, you keep amazing us, no “cricket”, a swear word a 3 m 53 s, lots of multi syllable words, referring to not just one but two manuals, a fleeting glimpse of Ms Wilmes, and a smattering of jazz and piano bar background music. You have come a long way for a boy from the bush, you will be assembling your Landy in a tuxedo next.
Greetings Mark. I'm hoping to wrap the series up long before Part 63 though I think there may well be another 2 episodes before the transmission is done. Once the engine is sorted out we'll most likely be fast tracking it towards the end. Light at the end of a very long tunnel so to speak.
Well Mr Foreman,I’m really pleased with your progress,and I can sense your excitement.It’s probably hurt your back pocket a bit,but it’s all going very well.All the best🙂
Greetings Wayne, that gearbox did indeed hurt the pocket, I'd hazard a guess it may be even with buying a recon unit. The benefit of doing it the hard way is I now know how it all works.
Greetings under powered hour, Thanks for the comment. I think the previous episode Part 20 goes into detail on the layshaft end float with the conical distance pieces and so forth. I do appreciate reminders and pointers as I frequently make mistakes. Cheers.
Exciting! You, good sir, are an expositor of an assemblage of many deep secrets. You may not be able to leap over skyscrapers (in one bound, hard as it is to believe), however time and thyme again you surpass your previous prowesses by leaping over such orogenous insurmountable objects of wonder; such as Landrover g/boxes, both parts A and B!. This can mean only one thing; you have us all spellbound as we anticipate your next challenge; the case of bewilderment. The transfer case. Summer I see you patrolling, keeping the area of discernment safe (the shop~of~works). But I am sadly missing a certain 'other' family member's inclusion. :(
Greetings Noel,. The little dog has begun to feel I need less supervision and the rats in the loft seem to be under control so she has been spending less time in the workshop. The fact it's been very hot of late has curbed her enthusiasm a little.
Your press has probably paid for itself already. I agree with another commenter; it was a master class. Great job as always. How’s the Disco progressing? 👍🏻🙏🏽😷🦘
Greetings Grahame, the disco is giving me headaches and I suspect the rear main seal is leaking on the new engine I installed. Besides that it is running very well. We used it on a job recently to cart gear down a steep hill to pull wires and it climbed back up like a tractor. It's awesome.
Hello from QLD. I have been following this for a while but have seen little remarks about the engine. Didn’t this have a 3.5 in it? What’s the plans? I would imagine finding a IOE in NA would be hard.
Greetings there Mr Element. The old chariot does indeed have a Rover 3.5 though I am seeking to downgrade. I have found a fellow who rebuilds GM 2.5 liter engines with all the adapters to fit a SWB series land rover. If that deal works out I reckon I'll take that route as it won't be too powerful for the transmission but will be better than the old original engines with the added bonus of an alternator. The fellow reckons it can do 70MPH and I may later install an overdrive. This is a possible spoiler so we'll have to keep this conversation a secret.
@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures it will be our secret… If you don’t intend on it being totally stock a GM engine would have a fitting gestalt considering your location. Or maybe a Holden 6? Good luck with it.
Greetings Paul and Sue. No night school for Land Rovers any where near me. I've spent a lot of time with my nose in the manuals doing practice runs stripping and rebuilding before doing it for real.
I tried to send you a message regarding 3.5 V8 engine and what to watch for but I am not sure it went through as I had had a couple of sherbets and may have sent to incorrect address let me know if it came through. It was a couple of tricks to the rebuild. Gippy
@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures Many Thanks. Saw the entire episode and still missed it!! Muppet me! Can you please point me to the correct minute and second in the video please. Thanks
You caught me out in a dirty lie! Took me a while to find it. We tackle the speedometer housing in 'Part 22 transfer box overhaul' at around the 20 minute and 20 second mark. Hope it helps.

Yes I noticed the clutch fork issue. Maybe there's going to be flashback to his "mistake" segment???

Greetings John, the jazz does seem to work for the Landy repairs. I find it quite amusing.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching all the vidios. Looking forward to the next one.
As a non-mechanic, I understood about 10%, but the tension was palpable.
Congrats Mr. Foreman 👍
Thanks Michael.
Really fun to watch. Editing this clip must have taken as long as the gearbox. Thanks!
Greetings Edward, I think the filming and editing multiplies the time by 4. I've spent a ton more time at the desk than in the workshop.
Indeed, I can tell how hard it its to edit to this standard. Well done and much respect!
so good, you've become a master mechanic throughout the series, good work mr foreman

There's a housing for it at the back of the transfer box. I think in Part 23 we rip it apart and re-install it.
