[QUOTE="vinito, post: 96106, member: 12954"] I'm having a great day today. I learned that the painting is complete. Just have to let it sit and cure for a few days (7 is ideal I guess) and I can bring it home and start assembling. Oh yea. [URL='http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mikeyphoto/media/paint.jpg.html'][IMG alt=" photo paint.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/mikeyphoto/paint.jpg[/IMG][/URL] A few of the “middle-sized“ parts. [URL='http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mikeyphoto/media/paintparts.jpg.html'][IMG alt=" photo paintparts.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/mikeyphoto/paintparts.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And there are a half-dozen un-pictured smaller parts drying out in another room. Also finished the shaft adapter. After cutting the inner key: [URL='http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mikeyphoto/media/ikey.jpg.html'][IMG alt=" photo ikey.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/mikeyphoto/ikey.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The finished pic looks like the one in the previous post except keyways are cut. Got home and had a UPS package. It's the sprockets, chain and new alternator pulley assembly. So now I can mock up the stuff that mounts to the shaft and finalize the lengths. I made the adapter to the length I calculated before because it can easily be shortened if need be, which I think is likely. And that also means I can move ahead with the pump and alternator brackets so I can get that over with. This is very cool. While the paint is curing over the next few days, I'll quit being lazy about the hydrostats and get them buttoned up. With those done, I should be able to start putting some major systems back into the machine. If anybody were near, I'd ask them to pinch me in case I was dreaming. It's been such a drawn-out stretch of time to finally get to this point, I was kind of starting to just believe I'd never be here. So whadda ya think of the color? [/QUOTE]
