An interesting purchase
training 1.jpg
Just received this book I purchased a couple of weeks ago. The auction description did not really pinpoint it's specific use. Since it's arrival, I have discovered it is in fact a manual, textbook if you will, used for training of Australian driver/mechanics, in WWII. Originally from Melbourne, it covers a great range of systems, vehicle brands & types, as well as having lots of learning material in written and diagram form. Very handy for a novice like me, and I would wager some of the students using this would have been little more than mechanical novices too. My Father amongst them. It blows me away to think he may have sat and studied a book just like this one. training 2.jpg training 3.jpg training 4.jpg training 5.jpg Cont'd...

Chassis repairs
This afternoon I called to see the guys that will be replacing the chassis cross member. Discussed option for having them remove & replace the extreme rear of both chassis rails. The manager doesn't feel there would be any problems doing this, so that will hopefully be the 'end' of that.
If this is done as above, the pintle brackets can be placed back of the cross member bracing plates. That means I won't need the guys to make the holes in rear of bracing plates align with the corresponding holes in bottom of pintle brackets. They are same diameter and exact same spacing to one another. With extra room available, that potential difficulty can be avoided entirely. One minor hiccup in all this, is that the newly employed fellow that does the sandblasting is off work with an acute illness. He may be back early next week, but this won't be known until next week. I spoke with one of the managers and offered to do the blasting myself if they showed me the basics of their particular blasting setup. This may be a valid option, as I have used a commercial sandblaster in past, but they may still be cautious about my suggestion! At least that would not take another employee away from their work just to attend this relatively low return task. Time will tell. P.S: David D., those parts arrived this afternoon. Much appreciated for your help.......again.  Boom shanka!
