The easy bit is done

In the ongoing gearbox saga I've made some good progress with the easy bits so far. I found a recently reconditioned gearbox to swap into the 4WD and have just picked it up.

It does, of course, weigh much more than I can safely lift on my own so I used the small crane I have for my tractor to get it out of the car.

If nothing more urgent comes up I'll start taking the broken gearbox out on Tuesday and, all going well, I'll have swapped the other one in by Friday.

The forecast for the rest of this week is permanently black oily hands, possibly clearing on Friday.
