Haha, it’s not rebuilt yet! The Roamerdrive is very tempting I must say but I do like original equipment and for all the mileage I do I think the Fairey should be ok. Thanks for watching!
I have the Fairy as well. Everything works as it should but at speeds above 45 either the main gearbox or the overdrive really whine. High 4th gear with OD in or out.🤷🏼♂️ I believe some OD bearings are still in use even when not in OD, but don’t know for sure. Earplugs are a must for even short trips. Thoughts?!
Sounds like your OD may be in need of some attention. Even when not engaged, the power to the rear wheels still passes through the OD. Unfortunately they have a small oil capacity and are prone to bearing wear and noise.
@@restosaga Yeah, I’m about to get into it. Actually I’m hoping it is the OD. I can get that out without too much trouble. I believe the same company that makes the Roamerdrive also makes rebuild kits. Thanks for you videos!👍
Give you credit for rebuilding it, I ended up getting the Roamerdrive instead.
