I seem to be on a roll with this thing now. Was able to use the parts cleaning table at work and made this so much eaisier than my ghetto home parts washing bucket. After cleaning and drying, i sprayed everything with WD40 to eliminate flash rust on the bare, machined surfaces.
I cleaned all the apron gears, the apron casting, handles, ect. I also cleaned some parts for the taper attachment as well. So glad i broke the apron down. The amount of gunk in the oil passages was incredible. Luckily i had a small paint sprayer cleaning brush and was able to ream them out. No way oil was going to lubricate the parts without having done this. I wasn't planning on doing the gearbox, but i may end up doing that now as well.
I'm going to wait to bead blast until i have a paint plan and have as many parts ready to paint as possible.
