Just took receipt of a 53 3/4 ton last week- lots and lots to do to get it roadworthy again- this will not be as quick as the 64- that's for sure!
Anyway- I put in a rather large parts order and as I wait for it to arrive I removed the bench seat to be cleaned up and re-installed- I soaked the tracks in evap-o-rust to get rid of the surface rust- and now they are back together, looking good, and ready to be painted. Before I re-install I was going to hit the bearings and wheel/ tracks with some lube. Then I thought about all the crumbs/ crud/ and seat fiber dust that was under that seat-( clean for now ) if I hit the tracks with lube do I run the risk of future crud sticking to the grease and gritting up with works? I didn't notice any factory residue in the tracks- so I'm unsure if these ever were meant to be lubed or not- any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! It's good to be back into the thick of things again.
