Thanks, and thanks for the pictures..

Yes.. I did rebuilt it myself, It was pretty strait forward. But I have rebuilt gear boxes in the past. I will say that I did have to use a 3/4" drive impact gun to remove the Yoke nuts and the center idler shaft nut. I'm also glad that I did it at my friends shop, one because my tools are in storage, and two he had a 3/4" drive impact and a Large set of Snap Ring pliers which are needed as well..

I purchased this kit: http://transpartswarehouse.com/index.../bk205gdm.html (there maybe better ones out there)
Be careful not to damage the small "freeze plugs" (#10 in the pic) that cover the roll pins (#23), as this kit does Not come with replacements. It also doesn't come with any info on "What's-What", this where the exploded view will come in handy.

I also used an exploded view of the NP205, the 1972 Overhaul Manual along with a few "How-To's" I found on the NET.. (see attached)

I tried to attach a .pdf of the 1972 Overhaul Manual and a How-To that assembled from pics I found on the net but they're to big.. PM me your email I can email them to you.
