Started tinkering with the old trumpets gearbox this weekend, third keeps jumping out so was time to fix it.
Found out the shift fork was worn down and sloppy so welded the face up with stellite and ground it down on the mill. Straightened with a hammer in the vice grips first!
Still needs finishing and annealing.
And the camplate got a new contour, since it was not actually fully engaging 3rd gear dogs. Welding has been done with stellite and bearing bronze.
