After assessing exactly what I have, I've decided to build my later parts Max instead of repairing my mostly complete older unit. Intend to get a good start this weekend getting her all tore down and starting to repair and clean up frame. Looks like somebody beat left center sprocket out. I'm gonna need a lot of education and advice along the way.
P.S. I did get an envelope full of goodies with newer unit.

This is the place to ask. Plenty of experts here. I learned a lot from a handful of people, and I expect to ask more questions once I get around to pulling my T20 later this summer. It gaining on 400 hours.
Good luck on the rebuild, its actually enjoyable to work on these machines.
Stand for the Flag. Kneel for the Cross.
I hope so at this point I can't see past all the sanding and PB Blaster work.
I don't think I ever knew true joy until I spent the last 2 days cutting of bearings, lock rings, and pillow blocks with a Dremel. After 27 years these parts have basically bonded. I have 3 axles out and think I can get the 4th out tomorrow. The rear axles sprockets won't budge. I'm afraid I'm going to have to have one of my techs at work cut them off. Shame a flange wasn't cast on inside of sprocket so I I could try a puller on them.
plenty of fun when working on these machines LOL. When I tore mine apart it was a bear but once you get it together and take it for a ride there is no better feeling. You will find plenty of help on this site there are a lot of good people on here ready to help. Good luck and have fun.
Thank you, after getting this far I've decided I'm replacing every bearing, pillow block, spacer, and flange with new. Probably a couple rear axle sprockets too. One thing I know when I reassemble the anti-seize will be applied liberally.
Hello LW1911, just curious how do you post multiple pictures on the same post?
I saw your other thread where you posted a single image in a post. To post multiple images, do the same thing. Just copy the link from the gallery and paste it in your post. You can do that as many times as you like before you submit the post.Originally Posted by hwally
