Huge step for me. I FINALLY got the QC torn apart. The axle tubes were a little redneck and STUCK. I found a jig on the HAMB using your engine stand to pull the tubes. Clearances were bad, took two pulls and about 15 minutes of heat per tube. Now, I just have to learn how to build one of these from scratch!?!?!?!
Tight clearances, turned down well casing? Looks like black pipe in person!
Free at last, free at last!
Apparently when you have a snout, some well casing and need to mate them you scab a larger tube on top? Hard to see but the scab was not cut off with a bandsaw, they drilled 3/16" holes all the way around until the piece fell from the stock, on both sides!?!??! Had to be 100 holes per "cut"
