Kelly: Not really fretting a whole lot, just wanted to test my memory. Lot of water has run under the bridge in the past 30 years. I really never had another one apart after that. My 300 wasn't very bad and I'm thinking all we ever replaced was 2nd - 3rd gear on the upper shaft. The damage on 300 occured shifting quickly from 3rd to 4th. I did this myself, shift lever came out of 2nd - 3rd rail without taking it from 3rd and transmission went into 4th. I dropped the clutch and old 300 died quite quickly.

Same thing happened on 560, but with a hired operator. Of course the 282 diesel didn't give up quite so quickly. there were 4 damaged gears plus a bent shaft. Don't think the initial inpact did all the gears. He lined the shift lever up in rails and kept operating. Operating with the bent shaft did some damage. Shift lever had come out before and he knew how get it working again. Had I known this was happening, I would have built up the shift lever. I am trying to contact my helper on this one.
