This ass’y is apart with some quick cuts and a press! Salvaged the pulleys!

Get it cleaned up and paint refreshed,

Yeah, it was almost against my religion to do it this way but having three different resting points simultaneously to press the components was a task beyond my comprehension!

I know exactly what you mean. I invented some new words but that didn't help. Getting the yoke freed up was another story but I had to win that one. :D

The first one, a 42”, the yoke was in pieces! I found a machine shop “willing” to repair it after several declinations, and that was a true test of faith!

I have it all together for test fit, the 3/4” shaft is barely the length I’d like it to be.

Debating whether or not to use remote grease stations over having to try an access them directly
