Chuck and Finn what have you decided to do with your
Ross gear boxes?

I ordered a RD-1A from Tracy. I will have to make some mods to make it fit.
In the mean time I will look for a transmission input shaft that could be
used to make a new input shaft for the Ross. I tried to press out the 3/8"
pin in the bad shaft with a 60 ton press and it never budged. I did turn a
1" x 8mm hex key (used as a press pin) into a mushroom though! I may use the
Ross for ground testing if I ever need to experiment with intake systems.
etc.

That is a sad situation. I am sorry you got stuck with that.
If you want to sell it let me know and I will post it here.
Perhaps it would be a bargain for some guy with access to a machine shop
to fix it.
