The rear end

As you can see once the paint and crud was removed, every oil seal leaked, so had to be replaced. The bottom of the gear lever was built up with weld and ground down to original shape. The whole clutch unit was replaced. The half shafts came out and were fitted with new bearings. The pto shaft fitted with new bearing & seal. Also new bushes in the pedals.
The local NH dealer's parts manager was most helpfull in tracing new old stock parts (from France). We fitted new foot steps and brackets. New brake linings and springs fitted, and tin covers over the bull pinion shafts. The hydraulic pump was overhauled, new bushes in the top link arms, and the lower link arms replaced with a new pair found in a dealer's store.
My credit card was "maxed out" for several months!
