Hi,

Need to replace gear/transfer box on my serie 2
(ref on the box is "814 LM25 01-85)
Looking for cheap but serious replacing part (verified)

I would hazard a guess that number is just the casting number, and not the part number.

I do not think anyone is still commercially rebuilding series gearboxes anymore?

Thanks lynall, a part supplier "specialised" in Landy in the UK may have some old stocks verified or not ? Happy to take any suggestion
 
Thanks a lot kermit_rr for the info on bearings I will check with mechanic helping me. "shuttle" not sure exactly what it is either LOL
By shuttle the mechanic might mean the sliding gear dog that changes the transfer box between high and low ratio.

it might pay to join the series 2 forum and have an ask on there, there are some very knowledgeable people on there.
 
John Craddock is a good supplier of Series parts. Your truck is a later 2a the good news being the transfer box remained much the same to the end of series 3 production.
 
Is that your garage or the mechanics , if yours, I’m impressed and you will have all the gear to fix anything on it
If mechanics, did he only remove that bottom cover to identify problem
What was the landy doing or not doing when you were driving it that highlighted the issue

Yes I think that's what a "shuttle" means.....(the issue I have is actually in the transfer box but consider changing the whole gear box as a more efficient option...)

Excellent !! No it is not my garage on the picture (I wish !!) but the pro mechanics who is kind enough to accept to help me fixing this issue. Yes for now he only opened the transfer box cover (picture posted) and we were considering changing the whole gear box as a simpler more efficient option.....if we find a replacing gear box.
Before my Landy was passing easily from 2x4 to 4x4 (and reverse) but recently I have been blocked in 4x4 (the ratio lever seems to move nothing) and now there is a big "whistling" noise and very high r/mph even at low speed...
I hope it is clear
 
Just to get this right when you are talking to people the box you are looking at is the " transfer box" and it is a separate part to the main gear box it is bolted to and can be removed to be worked on or changed leaving main box in place

thanks tottot, yes that is right, I am not very clear, the picture I posted is the "tranfer box", I was assuming with the mechanic helping me that it could be cheaper, easier to change the whole gear+transfer box vs repairing only the "shutlle" and the bearing of the transfer box on the assumptions that 1) a full certified transfer only box may be as expensive as a gearing +transfer box and 2) the gearing box beeing as old as the Landy (1969) it may be worth changing it now and avoids another costly intervention in x weeks on months
But if I have indication that it is cheaper and easier to repair now the bearing of only the transfer box and that if the gearing box is fine let it be....and if finding a complete gearing box is a pain....I would change my "strategy"
 
I doubt very much the main gearbox is the original from 1969, the casing may well be but likely it will have had a rebuild or two in that time. Drain and check its oil and if good, works in all gears?[ no metal bits come out] New oil and away to go.
The transfer box goes on well, running with low oil about only thing that damages them. Just rebuilt my 1977 series 3 main box. Checked the transfer but all that was needed was new seals.
Yours looks pretty good inside. Looks like the bearing to the front output case has failed. Replace this and it is likely the gear dog [ shuttle ] will work again.

Thanks totott I will lokk in this direction
Any idea what are the references of the parts to order on John Craddock website for eg. ?
 
Best to strip down the transfer box and see what the issue is before buying new parts , if you do buy parts buy quality bits if you can using the correct part numbers
There should be stamped numbers on it telling you which gearbox suffix you have
