    I think that a big determining factor on the value of the wiper motor is the internal condition of the motor itself. Attached is a photo of a motor that looked Ok on the outside however internally it was corroded beyond redemption.

    Assembling bogey wheel sets is a project within a project. I am now up to #7 bogey wheel set and should have the job finished early next week.

    Looking good, you will need these seals for your distributor angle drive unit.

    The front float tank water ejectors that I recently had sandblasted and wet primed had more corrosion to deal with. The pictures tell the story. I will now spot blast the repairs then prime and paint.

    This weekends weather did not lend itself to progressing the painting programme so I decided to get a few welding jobs out of the way. The first problem to deal with was this tiller arm. The NOS tiller arm rudder retaining clip had been welded in the incorrect position. When the rudders are deployed, the clip is normally secured to a countersunk hole at the top of the rudder shaft. Because the clip was not positioned correcty on the tiller arm, the clip would have just flopped around. I unzipped the old retaining clip and fitted a NOS spare retaining clamp that I had. The removed retaining clip will be relocated to the centre seat position on the rear floor pan.

    I found these saved photos in my photo archive so I thought that I would post them here as a reference for others. I don't know much about the history of these road pads other than what you see in the photos.

    Patrick, its a good feeling to tick off another milestone in a restoration. Again, well done and keep up the quality work.

    I had a productive weekend just gone. The spring packs are back together and painted. The return rollers are also back together and painted plus more small parts were painted. I almost got the windscreen frame painted but I have to revisit the job as I missed a small section. I also fitted the yokes to the completed bogey wheel sets and touched up the paint on them as well. Lots of loose parts that have been sitting in the cupboard for many years are now finally finding a home.

    @Jim Gilmore The seals are indeed installed back the front. Thats why I have had to go to all this trouble to install them.

    Tad-ah!

    Insert the shims, shaft collar, bearing and woodruff key and then repeat the above for the opposite side bogey wheel.

    Here's where it pays to exercise a bit of caution. Don't let the bogey wheel disengage from the seal or else the seal has to be removed from the bearing carrier and the whole process starts again. Having said that a tiny bit of slack is needed to remove the split collar.

    Then I pressed the seal into the bearing carrier

    Then into the bench press

    Then install the bogey wheel shaft

    Its time to gently prise the plastic dust cap out of the seal.
  17. OZM29C
    Then I pushed the dust cap and seal over the bogey wheel shaft

    Then I pushed the plastic dust cap into the seal to expand it.

    I put this up on the Weasel FB group but I think its important to make sure that the info is also captured here on this forum. First off I lay the split collar on the inside of the bogey wheel.

    Here is a photo of the special installation tool I made to install the OEM bogey wheel seals to prevent the seal lip from rolling back. I will post photos of this tool in use when I have enough hardware together to assemble another bogey wheel set. I had to come up with something to install the OEM leather seals as I was quoted $536.80 for a replacement set of 32 CR12391 seals.

    Larry here is another link to a guy who is casting return rollers etc for his homebuilt tank. Makes for an interesting read regardless; http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=27521&page=10&highlight=panzer

    My short but productive holiday has come to an end. I have spent days painting the myriad of parts that go into a weasel. Here are a couple of happy snaps. I am by no ways close to finished as yet though. All I can say is the preparation and painting is very time consuming.

    Regretably no, I don't have any drawings of this rudder cable conduit clamp set.
  24. OZM29C
    Here are the clamps used to secure the rudder cable conduit. Note the half nuts!

    Is there a special technique to stop the lip of an OEM leather bogey wheel seal rolling in on itself when assembling the bogey wheel? I have had the seals soaking in oil for about two days before trying to install them. I have kneeded the leather to make it more supple. I have placed the seal on a size for size mandrell to try and stretch the leather before fitting So far none of these actions have met with success. I think that I will fit the modern CR seal if I can't find a solution to this problem.
