Progress on the 830

[jon f mn]

Been working on putting the 830 together this week. Cleaning that housing out was a major undertaking. I flushed it with diesel, blew it out, wiped it out, used a magnet and vacuum and it still took several hours. There was some metal shavings which was a normal a.ount, but it just didnt want to give it up. Even used a magnet and every time I looked in there was more. But I think I got it pretty good.

Then putting the gears in started. The book is not real clear on the order to reassemble and so I got to take things out and start over a couple times. But got the gears and differential in.

The bearings finally got here for the axles so those will go in this weekend as well as a rebuilt pto. Still waiting on the parts for the 3pt cylinder rebuild. But hope to have it all running next week.

Mineral spirits seems to cut the crud a little better but one still has to use a small brush or finger to get corners. Really fun reaching in the rear and trying to flush it backwards and it wants to stay in the cavities. The wife doesn't want me in the house afterwards, same as a skunked dog. Keep posting, enjoy your pictures.

Jon, You may consider putting a magnet or two in there and leaving them there, if you were afraid that it would move you could epoxy it fast but I have never seen one move. On my DC engine builds I put a couple cow magnets in the pan, and you would be amazed how much fine stuff they accumulate over the years.
