It was the 1965 Volvo estate. The gearbox whined in one of the gears. The old M40A geabox was tiny and very solid and simple. I managed to split a tempered washer when re-assembling it and had to drive to Manchester from the Wirral to get a new one to avoid my fairly recent marriage coming to s quick end. Lesson - never try to recondition a gearbox the week before going on holiday. When I came to recondition the gearbox on a split-windscreen Morris Minor I was rebuilding Haynes said don't even try - get a reconditioned one. It was half the length of the vehicle. I couldn't believe it.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-4207661466534476422020-07-30T08:41:42.999+01:002020-07-30T08:41:42.999+01:00Graham, the tractor is on a five tonne trolley jac...Graham, the tractor is on a five tonne trolley jack and we move it using long bars to lever the front wheels. If I do gearboxes I always do the clutch as they cost nothing and are easier done at the same time.<br /> She is pissed off that nobody will build it, then she would want it transporting about. It is more an exercise for me.Adrian Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061432566298145837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-78004311184394342572020-07-30T08:12:56.627+01:002020-07-30T08:12:56.627+01:00I've reconditioned a gearbox but never changed...I've reconditioned a gearbox but never changed a clutch even on a car. I don't envy you the job of aligning it. You need a large overhead gantry crane.

It's easy in RAW to pull back dark bits but impossible to rescue blown areas. You can if you forget replace the white areas with grey but that is yet more work. Work is to be avoided at all costs.Adrian Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061432566298145837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-79768497973275375172020-07-29T13:44:21.346+01:002020-07-29T13:44:21.346+01:00Agnie, they are HDR processed from a single image....Agnie, they are HDR processed from a single image. Not as good as multiple images but good enough for here and it saves masking out the ghosting in the moving bits. These are done using NIK filters which for a while were free. They have started charging for them again but this is where they come from.<br /><a href="https://nikcollection.dxo.com/color-efex-pro/" rel="nofollow"><b>EFEX PRO.</b></a><br />As long as you shoot in Camera raw and correct them something like neutral prior to letting Efex loose the results are acceptable. I always adjust levels and saturation in Photoshop after HDRing. Gimp would do the same but I, who love free, have never got on with GIMP.
