Very nice! It looks brand new

Where in the world are you? I didn't see any snow in your pictures during the winter so it must be somewhere mild

I was just there a month ago with my level wind with the same problems. With a rubber glove I was able to rotate the wheels a tiny amount back and forth and exercise them while greasing. Eventually they worked loose and now spin with ease. No disassembly of the wheels was necessary on mine.

Must be very exciting and satisfying to see all the large panel assemblies go back together. It's like building a toy model!

Eastern Surplus bought out all of dataplates.net inventory so they have a good selection. TNJMURRAY also has a good selection of data plates.

Looks good. On my M813 brakes I was able to leverage the brake shoe away from the wheel cylinder with a large flat screw driver and then I could pull those push rod things out of the cylinder with no need to remove any springs or keepers.

If the axle were on two jack stands and perfectly level with a flat floor the wheel dolly would work well to do a wheel seal

That beam on top of the leaf springs is weird and not much compression travel to be had. Are all the M39s like that or only certain models?

I like it. With a rig like that you'll be able to pull the hub/drum and wheels off all together

Awesome! Please post a short startup video if you can. We would love to hear it purr

I'm really enjoying your pace. It's ambitious yet methodical

It looks like you've done this before... Love the in-process pics

I took a tour of the BP refinery at Cherry Point and they said the final product (gasoline) was generic and they would add a bucket of Chevron or Shell or whatever additive to it before delivering to a gas station.

I've had cast iron water jackets welded up in the past but it all depends on if that crack is accessible to the arc rod. Looks like access would be tough...

Ahh, now I see it. Is that something you repair or replace?

So was the breach in part of the water jacket?
