Update, I took off the PTO cover from transfer case and it looks like mud around the output shaft. Very nice indeed. Lots of play there for sure. It is a LT77 tranny. Should I get a rebuilt one or give it a go and try to overhaul this one? Any advice on a reputable source for a transmission. Will I need to change out the transfer case as well or just change the input gear and necessary bearings? I curse that Englishman that told me this would be trouble free for years to come! That guy is still jumping up and down clicking his heals together. I especially love the paint over rust and dirt. Ya'll got me good on this one-lesson learned. Thanks again for any assistance chaps, blokes, gentlemen, noblemen, or any other term appropriate- I really do appreciate the advice. Links to videos or old posts earns you a pint when you come over to the states. You still on lockdown??

You can pull the gear out now and have a proper look at the splines on shaft and gear. Usual to just replace input gear for the transfer box, replacing mainshaft in gearbox is more of a job, Most fit a rebuilt box. Still in lockdown.

It doesn't look good there, but have you cleared the crap away and confirmed that it has failed?
When you get your gearbox repaired, you can get a modification that drips oil into that area.
Google Ashcroft Transmissions to get an idea of the parts.

Let me know @Kiteboarder Ken if you need some more pages of RAVE posting
probably best to google RAVE.iso and download it so you have a copy.

To be pedantic the tranny is an LT230 and the gear box is a LT77.
Take the gear out and look. You can rebuild the transfer box yourself - will need a DTI gauge and a press and a rebuild kit from Ashcroft
you won’t be able to do the gear box yourself.

YouTube channel called britanica restoration and another called trailer fitters tool box both have excellent videos coving all that’s been mentioned.
As said by other the next thing to do now is pull the input gear out and see what the internal splines look like on it and the gearbox output shaft. I would second the previous comments about being able to rebuild the transfer box yourself. But I would suggest it is unlikely to be that actual box. The input gear can be replaced on its own (make sure you get a cross drilled version). But if the gearbox output shaft splines are worn you are looking at a reconditioned box.
