DougieM Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Hi! Anybody know where I might be able to pick up laygear 154829. Been on back order for a few weeks with Rimmer and expected date has slipped 3 times and now out to 12th Nov at earliest. Moss also out of stock. A google search isn’t proving helpful either. Thanks.

DougieM Posted October 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Hi Mathew, it's a 76 spit with single rail box. It has 15 teeth which engages a 21 teeth reverse idler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougieM Posted October 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Hi Mathew, I don't need the whole gearbox as I have everything apart from the laygear. As long as the gear assembly is in good nick then I'd be interested in buying one. No great rush as I've been waiting several weeks so another couple won't make much difference but a minimum of another 6 weeks from Rimmer does. Hopefully you can find a loose one.

Clive Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Likewise our local gearbox chap may have one. I will be seeing him tonight at the Club meeting, so can ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougieM Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Any joy at your club meeting last night Clive? Mathew when do you think you might be able to strip down the gearbox? Reason for asking is that I have to let Rimmer know if I want to cancel my laygear order and if I say no then I am committed to buying it when I may not need it if you are able to supply one.

Clive Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Pete reckons he must have a few. He has taken many gearboxes apart, and reckons the laygears are nearly always OK (unless the whole box has had terminal damage) He is checking his actual stock, (a couple of crates of gears and stuff in his garage) I will drop you a message as I am away from tomorrow...

DougieM Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 No worries Mathew, it's a long way for me to travel to collect the gearbox but I have a campervan and could make a trip of it so it's not out of the question if other avenues prove fruitless. Hope you feel better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpus Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Have you looked at Bastuck Germany ? They make and supply them to everywhere + are normally cheaper.. (dont know now with the extra costs to the UK). Just before brexit I was lucky to find a NOS laygear still in the box. Look at top of the pic part no G53SPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hmmm have a look at this thread: Its not the problem so much as the Bastuck response which is most worrying.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Is the part number stamped on the assembly anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
