Decided to rebuild the box on my project as not run since 1982 + heavy oil contamination on both sides (definitely had been leaking when it was running)
Found one oil leak on one side, a servo O ring had been fitted incorrectly and pinched ( see pic) found second oil leak on other side, one of the three bolts retaining the rear drum was finger tight. Oil was black! with only a faint tint of red, grey sludge in pan that looks like it was once the break bands and clutches (suspect incorrect oil added by owner as topping up due to oil leak)
Anyway question: oil pressure test point on BW65 (type 303 i believe) the box is stiped and clean but I can not for the life of me find an oil pressure line port, i can account for every hole / orifice on the box. there are some unmachined casting points that loom like in an earlier life there were connection points. So has anyone ever done the pressure test one this model of box or shall i just use feeler gauges on the cable to measure slack?
