Today had a few hours of cleaning up parts, getting ready for some new bits to arrive.
Wire wheeled the front hubs that Dad took apart 45 years ago, dressed off the gasket faces where someone had been a bit enthusiastic with a cold chisel trying to get them apart. Removed the old bearings and made ready to fit new.
Also gave the drums a clean up, wire wheeled the outside and primed. I'll skim the friction surfaces on the lathe next, if I can find the 4th of the cast iron drums!
