Re: Gear box input shaft , no spin Take a good look at the point where the inputshaft goes into the gearbox. If your bearing is pushed backwards it can melt/disform the inputshaft tube??? and block the inputshaft.....
(I had this at my beamerengine)....

Re: Gear box input shaft , no spin Oboe, check the M7 bolts on the rear cover. If one of the 4 shorter ones is too long, it will foul the rearmost pinion on the mainshaft, preventing it from turning. oboe wrote: Got the gearbox-guru coming to take a look and sort it out

Re: Gear box input shaft , no spin Oboe, talking to Rick this morning and he mentioned something about gearboxes working better (and lasting longer) if they've got oil in them...
