Progress as of 08.19.07

First full day of work done on the Bofors. Trying to get the carrage ready to be sandblasted. First came the vaccum...its amazing how may rats nests, hornets and gravel can be found in the hollow areas of the base...





This outrigger jack was the only one siezed. Took about an hour to get it working. the lock pin for this out rigger was siezed in its mounting hole. Took close to three hours to remove it.



Here is the remains of the pin that was siezed. What a headache it was to remove.



More photos of todays work, it mainly focused on the quick release axel mounts. After removeing them, I sandblasted the mounts, levers, locks and the bolts, primed them and re-installed. Now they work like new, nice and free, A huge difference when installing the axels.

Front Axel:


Rear Axel:






Almost ready for sandblasting...
