Drive motor body leaks

[DavidBarkey]

I decided to fix this before became a problem after all assembled . It wasn't leaking yet , but I know Murphy would show up after final assembly and the cab is on like he did when I built cab for Frankie .
Leaving the bottom wheel on makes a great work stand . I would not recommend doing this horizontal.

getting ready to open motor barrel

Note the rust creeping in for outside where the seal rides

seal still good , but cap needs cleaning too

Note the white dot , next to cleanliness , correct alignment will make sure the motor turn the correct direction

Barrel off, most of the motor left alone . I use a pin to keep everything in line .

Too be continued

All done cleaned up and painted . Ya it is rattle can , but is better than oh natural rust .

Dave, that looks great! If you were to get new seals, where from? Also, where did you get the right colour spray paint?

[Gordy]

Good time for a little PM I will have to remember that one

So the seals were still soft and pliable, at their age?

That I am not sure .They are not a standard O ring . They are a square ring with bevelled shoulders on the outside only .
I beleave there is a seal kit available though the Case parts suppliers that has all the seals . All of mine are Ross (TRW) . I found and cleaned off the tag . I am going to take a pic. of it and runn it and see what comes up .

Ya just have to clean the rust off and make sure the seal and barrel ends are lubed on re-assembly .
