Drain the oil first - see how much trash is in it, fish with a magnet on a stick . Lots of brass - could be rebuilt bearing/synchro's/seal/gaskets; gear teeth - I'd look for an new/used box.

Will post updates gonna be slow go for a bit as my storage shed I park it in for the winter is 10x20 and full of junk. So lots of crawling around on my knees. Will probably be pulling the seats and the fuel tank to check it out for any rust issues and hang the transmission from the roll cage while removing it.
Will have my 21 year old daughter doing a lot of the wrenching. If she wants to steal my rig she has to learn to work on it. Haha. She’s hoping to become 5th generation cattle farmer with her sister gonna take over the family farm she’s gonna need to learn how to fix all kinds of things as the parts store is 2 hours away.

Oh ya will drain for sure need to lighten it up haha don’t like the smell of gear oil and or spilling it all over my floor once I open it up. I have tw other transmission on the floor also of unknown comdrion. . But still hoping it’s just the input shaft bearing under the front retainer. All good it’s an easy drop on the floor. sharing is fine just a lot of grumbling going on.
I already upgraded the 3-4 snap rings to the solid spacer the last time I took it part. 18 years ago or more. . Cheers.
