Hello,a quick note on the marlin toybox,I bought 4 toy boxes from marlin crawler about 15 to 20 yrs ago,together with Bruce Lowen,I think we bought 10 toy boxes.
I’ve install one on my H55 bj42 crawler,a customers H41 bj42 crawler,another on a customers hzj75 which I eventually bought and put the H55 and toybox in my HDJ55,I still have a brand new H55 toy box sitting here which will eventually go into my sons BJ60,I’ve been working on my hdj55 for about 5 yrs now and have put about 5000 km on it this summer,last week the H55 wouldn’t go into 2nd gear,it just grind from first to 2nd and will not go into 2nd unless I step on the clutch and just push it into 2nd really fast,it will not go into 2nd from 3rd at all,after some thinking,i decided to drop the splitcase and toy box,and I found out the spacer behind the lock collar have a 4 to 5 mm movement,the lock collar is still tight when I try to move it by hand,so have anyone with the H55 toybox have this problem before?
So I remove the lock collar and was able the move the 5th gear and spacer towards the front by about 2 mm,so I’m going to reinstall the spacer and lock collar with lots of locktite and put the toybox and H55 back on and see if it will shift into 2nd gear …
