Wonderful job done today. Been replacing Hatch gearbox gradually. When I took it out only 3 bolts in rear cross member. Snapped bolt in chassis for fourth. Hour and half of stuffing around drilled and tapped. Getting too old for gearbox work laying on floor. Still have to slip box in.

Life’s too short to work on the floor! Invest in a hoist, will change your life.

Had hoist at workshop but my partner sold it when we closed the business down. At moment all my sheds are too low that's why I didn't keep it. Another shed at the Farm waiting to be erected should be high enough so will get a hoist again. Suppose some one will buy the Farm then and I will lose hoist
