Emergency Brake Assembly Rebuild

Sandblasted and repainted all of the individual parts that make up the emergency brake assembly.  5/20/2012.

Installed Rebuilt Rear Axles

I had new rear bearings pressed on the rear axles.  They also dressed up the axles where the seals ride.  Installed new seals.  Installed the drums which I had turned.  They are the originals and barely needed any cutting.  5/19/2012.

Brake and Clutch Pedal Rebuild

60 years of wear sure took its toll.  Sandblasted all parts and repainted.  Installed new bushings and a new main rod that both pedals pivot on.  The clutch linkage was worn egg shaped.  I welded it back up and re-drilled it.  5/5/2012 - 5/18/2012.

Front Brakes

Installed new front brake cylinders, springs, shoes, retainers, push pins, and adjusters.  4/29/2012.

Front Steering Assembly

Installed new king pins and bushings.  The new bushings are built larger than the king pin diameter to allow for machining to a perfect fit.  I had to take the spindles to a local machine shop to ream out the bushings. Added the brake backer plates.  2/8/2012.

Rear End Rebuild

Disassembled the rear end to give it a good and thorough cleaning.  Everything looks good with no visible damage.  Installed the rear axle to rear leaf springs.  1/22/2012

Installed Front I-Beam Axle

Installed the front axle onto the newly rebuilt leaf springs. New U-Bolts freshly painted.   1/21/2012
