Hello All,
Here’s this weeks addition of What the hell did Pat get into.

This week started out slow, but as my usual I got a bunch of stuff done. In fact I got more than I thought I would done.

the week started off with a bunch of painting. For myself and customer. I got my axle part back from the blasters. So I got those and a bunch of engine parts for my customer jobs painted as well.

I got some progress done on the Model T engine I’ve been working on too. I was waiting on the new tail shaft to come in which it did. I need that part to set the magneto ring to flywheel clearance. This is a very labor intensive task. As it involves temporary Installing the flywheel and checking the clearance. Then remove, shim as needed. Then reinstall, check, remove, adjust shims, repeat till you’re happy. Only took about 2-3 hrs to complete. Now it’s onto cleaning the transmission parts then assemble the transmission. This project is getting close to final assembly. Goal is to have it completed sometime next week.

The big project I got completed was on my stuff. With the help of my helper who you should recognize, we were able to completely rebuild my rear axle, and the front axle over the weekend. Now the front axle was a simple assembly as all of the bushings have been done before. I basically gave it a cosmetic clean up. The rear axle got a complete rebuild. All new bearings and seals. I will admit usually the axles take longer to complete. I got lucky that this one gave me zero issues, and went smooth. Thanks Pog!

FYI….if anyone has a questions, comments, or would like to know more about the stuff I’ve been doing feel free to reach out to me. Happy to help.
