Dave, yes you are right that there is little to no access and the other Vickers will be all Hydraulic drive. Because I have no drive train at all, I just thought It would make sense to have hydraulic drive like a skid steer and I have a little bit of an idea about that. (Not a lot, but enough) I am very happy the way it is coming along.
Hi Colin,
The gear in the bottom is the reverse gear, the sliding gear above it on the mainshaft is 1st and Reverse so slides along to engage the reverse gear. See the picture attached.

cheers Richard
