Gear wear?
Gearbox damageHello Greg
From the picture it looks like it has possibly been welded up then ground back to shape ? Hardly worth putting it back in if you are going to put some miles on it. Unless you are in a rush to get it rebuilt. I don't have the experience with these gearboxes that some of the other forum members have but I do know damaged gears etc don't get better with use. As Alan W has said check the kickstart shaft where the countershaft rollers run on it as even slight wear can be the start of problems. Gordon SAFOJ

I tend to agree that someone has tidied up the gear dogs with an angle grinder but do not think welded though I will have another look with that in mind. I did not notice much wear associated with the rollers/kick start shaft but will have another look. The obvious wear is on the bushing at the other end adjacent to the kick start pawl. Greg

I think it would be good to get replacements for those parts tp give you a good start with your rebuilt engine. I am away for a couple of weeks but will happily look through my spares when I get back if you haven't found anything by then. G

If you cant get, the parts you are looking for from G-man or closer to home, I think I should have them ( though no spare kickstart shafts unfortunately ). Gordon SAFOJ
