Re: The Ugly Green Thing ('35 Panel Delivery)
Well I rebuilt a later carburetor and tested it and the rebuilt starter and switch. All worked fine. I also found out the oil pump works well as I had put the oil filter gasket in crooked dumped a quart thru it onto the floor. I'll bet I'm not the only one who has done that. I was pleased that the fuel fittings are 1/2-20 as I can make ones with regular taps and dies. Using 1/2" rod I had to mash the end down to have enough material to file the flats for the hex. I'll check out fuel pumps today.

Re: The Ugly Green Thing ('35 Panel Delivery)
I was pleased to find out that a gas tank I bought 25 years ago hoping I could make work actually was the correct tank for the panel. I will have do do some work to make the filler fit.
Before installing it I needed to straighten the rear frame member. It was bent and broken. I have a chunk of I-beam that works for that. I also coated the frame with some Por-15. |

Re: The Ugly Green Thing ('35 Panel Delivery)
I wanted to clean up a spare generator for the '35. It was reluctant to come apart. After soaking it with penetrating oil and then soaking it in water it was still stuck. I thought maybe a gentle nudge in the press might push the armature through the case. I used some steel and a socket for spacers and put some pressure on. With no results I finally put all 12 tons to it. Still no movement. I added a little pressure each day and finally used a longer jack handle. I expected a BANG! if it ever let loose, but didn't expect the armature shaft to penetrate the 1/8" steel into the socket. At this point the armature was showing some movement and did come out of it's shell. My next task is to remove the punctured plate from the shaft. The parts may clean up and work. Or not.
I thought some of you might enjoy this as it isn't that common at my shop. Rich |

Re: The Ugly Green Thing ('35 Panel Delivery)
That is amazing max! And no chips to clean up afterwards like when using a drill press! You and Mart have a way with re-using old stuff that many others would toss out. Good progress on the panel too!
