Mack NR color

[Slava]

Progress during last year.
Disassembling rear bogie.

[Slava]

Had to repear trunnion bracket unit.
Rust made seals dead and water came in.
Trunnion axle was rusted and weared bruss pipes.
Play of 3 mm makes new seals unworkable.
Have axle machined ower for 1.5 mm to delete rust cavits.
Lot of work and expensive materials was aplied.
Bruss pipe wasn't for sell, by solid piece only. Forgot how many kilos..
New pipes made and pressed in.

[Slava]

Old bolts and nuts were cleaned and galvanized

[Slava]

Everything was sandblasted, primered and painted.

[Slava]

And that's the most pleasant part of the work

[Slava]

Continue with all the bolts fixed with liquid seal and owerpainted

[Slava]

Last two weeks it seems to me like this.

Alex, thanks for your interest, I'm 2 years at MLU and it helped me much to get the ball rolling in my Mack story
