    Just finished bulkhead repair and galvanize

    Way I did this was to strip the box down, all the gears out apart from the reverse gear, then Water sand blast the casings, this is an attachment you can buy for a pressure washer so it is water and sand that gets off all the muck and crud. If this is too messy then take the cases to a garage...

    How rare is my 109?
