Re: Our "New to Us" Winnie
Did a final clean on the front of the engine, wire brushed the contact area of the flat pulleys that ride on the back of the belt to get the burnt on rubber and paint lumps off so the new belt will get a smoother run .... and even sprayed a bit of black on the pulleys

Re: Our "New to Us" Winnie
Finally, the reassembly has begun .... or as Margaret described it, the dismantling has ended, so is the mantling or remantling when you start to put it back together 
Seems I could have improved my cleaning a tad ..... next time
Margaret felt she was up to helping with the Winnie fixing Then the repainting ..... well actually, painting, seems that wasn't seen as important at the fitting station, nor with who ever took the tanks out 10 yrs ago for retesting .... assuming they actually did remove them to be inspected and pressure tested
Painting didn't even seem to be a requirement at the Winnie throw together shop, ground through the protective coating in the chassis rails, vertical welds to hold the body brackets on
but repaint the bare metal ..... not even as far as removing the mill scale from the angle iron 
At least they have a coat of paint on them now .....
Started raining, so play was called off for the day .... time for a nap I reckon
