First on the list was to degrease and pressure wash the years of neglect off the old girl
Removed all the chains, sprockets and axle shafts.....then lifted the frame out of the tud.....and more pressure washing....
With the frame out I can now fix the broken chain tensioner support and cracked frame
Looks like a good project that will pay off. Where and how was the frame broken?
Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.
The chain tensioner support was welded to the floor pan and not the frame....it looks like it has been broken for years.... I fixed all of them with a much heavier weld.
Spent the next couple days cleaning and painting. Made a huge list of parts needed to bring her back to life...
Also picked up a pair of Bolduc 20" wide rubber tracks with wheel spacers and heavy duty tensioner blocks
Hi, how much time did this project took you? You made an incredible job. I have a 2003 conquest also and seeing your restauration pictures makes me want to do the same. How much hours do you think you've put on this project?Originally Posted by XVR
