Not sure where I should be posting this but it Not sure where I should be posting this but it is one of my projects.
Had posted part of it in JA Jet 12x36 thread. but decided I should not hog his thread.
Did not start a thread when I started on this project but trying to make some inputs as I start the reassembly of it.
Got part of the gear box back together and mounted back on the bed. Notice that the selectors have not been put back on yet. As just got the new bearings needed on each end of the shaft in.
Do have one gear selector cleaned up and set up almost ready to go, but still need to make a new shaft for the gear to ride on as there is over 0.020 wear on the shaft where it rides. The second selector has not been taken apart and cleaned yet. But know it also has major ware on the shaft. Looking to order some 5/8 tool steel next purchase budget.
Have the head ready to start reassembly , all painted and ready.
Put in the First race for the spindle bearings. Chuck side, had the race in the freezer at 0 degrees for several hours, then heated the casting with heat gun and propane torch until hot, Cleaned the seat and lightly tapped it into place. A lot easier to get in than to get out.
Will clean the other side up and repeat the process.
Anyway here are some of the pictures.
