Ian,

That's interesting. Where did you get the brass one from? I guess there is an oil feed for the needle bearing anyway. The old brass one has an oil hole through it to an oil groove.

The T 'box is back on e-bay again, so I have agreed a price and will hopefully be picking it up tomorrow/Tuesday.

PRM were extremely helpful, they said that the only differences between the two could be bellhousing, output flange and gear-lever. They offered to check which of the three it might be, by full serial numbers but the guy selling T 'box on e-bay pulled it, despite me having a bid already on it! We ha...

Ian,

Thanks for your reply. It does sound probable that there are few differences. My dumper is 4wd and it has the S box with a separate transfer box.

I did e-mail PRM yesterday to ask, so will see if they reply.

As per the subject, my dumper has a 40M2S gearbox that needs an overhaul (again). Would a 40M2T gearbox fit? It's a Thwaties Alldrive 6000 with a PH2 engine.

Thanks.

Glen.

I am after a good working Newage 40M2S gearbox for a Thwaites Alldrive 6000 dumper.

Please call me on 07885 282235 if you have one available.

If it has the type of clutch release bearing with the ring of graphite, I wouldn't be surprised if this has either worn down, or broken up completely. I have had this happen twice in eight years on my Alldrive 6000. The first time I fitted a complete clutch but yesterday I replaced just the release ...

The gearbox is still hanging on at the moment, although I am sure it has started to whine a bit more recently.

I have seen a 40M833T123 gearbox for sale, would this be a straight swap for the 40M2S?

An update on this thread. The gearbox went back in a few weeks ago with a couple of shims added at the front of the layshaft. It's probably not an ideal solution as the shims will inevitably restrict the amount of oil that gets to the needle roller bearing, however, without them it gets destroyed an...

I have a 1984 Thwaites Alldrive 6000 which I am still using at work for my building company. I have a recurring problem with the Newage 40M2S gearbox. It was fitted with new bearings by the previous owner but about 18 months ago my Father stripped it down because it was getting noisy. We fitted new ...

What bits did you get and what were the prices?
