Hi Bogieman, saw you post re WP36 gearbox. Sorry we have been so hard to get hold of. It does not help you but our parts chap got head hunted and we have not been able find a worthwhile replacement. Still interviewing etc, it's really frustrating to let people down and we are trying our best to get back to everyone asap. But truth is we are struggling. I did speak to Pete at Strathbogie forest & garden about this gearbox so I don't know why he has not got back to you. I explained we have never split a gearbox and Farmi's answer was to fit a new gearbox. We have them on the shelf but I appreciate you may want to save some loot and try and repair the old box.

The pump is held onto the box by four bolts. The pump shoukd then just pull off. The tapered pump shaft has a male spline coupling that is held pn by a 8mm(?) Nut and tab washer. This male spline slides into a femail spline in the gearbox. It sounds like you have been unable to pull the pump off the gearbox because the male spline coupling is solid inside the femai coupling? And you are now trying to undo the 8mm nut though the femail spline, from the inside face of the gearbox?
I cant see how it could run for 3 years with no oil, but.....
Can you email [email protected] with a couple of pictures of the inside of the box to show lack of oiL. Please state serial number. I will forward to Farmi to see if they will supply a gearbox FOC. Its worth a try, you never know.
Nb. Please don't reply to me via arbtalk as I find it all but impossible to use, hence not beeing aware of your post. I think the new arbtalk layout stinks and is far from user friendly compared to its old user friendly workings.
