Gearbox assembly

We reassembled the gearbox today and stripped and cleaned the transfer so I could order bearings as required.  First 2 photos are of all the rollers o-ringed onto a dummy shaft that fits inside the gear shaft but is still short enough to drop down through the top of the gearbox.  Once the shaft is in place you just push the dummy shaft out with the real shaft and you're done - nice and easy.  2nd pic is up the rear of the box with all the bigger rollers greased into place. 
I took the drive gear out of the box that came with my overdrive and it doesn't look too good.  The previous owner has left it with water in the transfer so the gear has pitted.  Will try and strip the overdrive Wednesday once the transfer is all assembled.  If I'm lucky it will have fared better than the internals of the transfer.  If not I may have to sideline that part until later on and just run without it to get it running.  No problem either way - still plenty of other things to do!
