Thread: My 1955 86" rebuild.

I was talking with the club registrar last evening and he had a 3/8" BSF die nut, so this morning I borrowed it to clean the threads on the C'sk screws

and in the background is my 'thread file' just to show other users what it is if they have never heard or seen one before, this one is for external threads i.e. bolts etc., the file is square and has 8 different TPI's on it (threads per inch) 3/8"BSF is 20 TPI, anyway a quick lick with some etch primer/gloss black paint

while waiting for the paint to dry, I re-assembled the PTO drive unit

well that's been part of my day, in between showers of rain, cheers Dennis

As usual great work,

This mob seem to have knowledge and parts for ptos etc.

Max tells me... I mean, I've heard that things are a bit crowded there... Well, if things are crowded there I could look after one of the cars, say a swb, with maybe shortened rear corners and maybe a split windscreen and maybe angled guards... If you have anything fitting that description I'd be willing to pop over and move it out of your way ... I can leave now...


Cheers

Today I started to re-assemble the right hand drive part, putting all the 1/4" studs etc., that screwed out when I dismantled it

bit the bullet and stripped the main part of the PTO, it came apart fairly easily just have to remember which spacers go where
anyway P/bucket is still not playing the game cheers Dennis
ps 12 hours later here it is stripped bare

A poor effort today, as I have done my shoulder in, the issue has been steadily getting worse over the past few weeks anyway an ultrasound found the root cause, so it's light duties for a period of time, but I managed to clean this up and etch prime and make a start on painting it black

anyway cheers Dennis

Not much happening here, between U/S directed steroid injection, and my SVT flying pr220, but before all that happened I managed to get this bit re-assembled

anyway cheers Dennis

I was up early this morning to get this little gem ready for the local 'Long Tan' comemmoration here in Aberdare, a quick spruce up and she was ready to go, taken to the event by 2 very trusted mates

and from another angle

I still wasn't 100% so I had asked my mates to do this for the veteran community.
I stayed home as I said and fiddled with the drum pulley, assembled the drive collar

then fiddled the pulley onto the splined shaft and tensioned it up

cheers Dennis

I had this story written then some crap website clamped me (winreward) **&&^%$# not happy, so here are a few images and B/A words





all finished

cheers grumpy aka Dennis
