The Stovebolt Site Forums Project Journals Project Journals 1941 GMC COE on a modern frame

The new carrier went in today. I was very lucky, I just got the ring gear in place after sitting the carrier outside in -5 temps for 2 hours and heating the ring gear lightly with my heat gun when my friend walked in and helped me install and torque the bolts. Now to adjust backlash and wear pattern.

For the 2 previous days I worked at my neighbors place, he had a stroke and we installed an elevator because he lives upstairs in his aircraft hanger. He has lived up there for about 4 years, then fell and broke hip and paralyzed leg. In assisted right now but determined to get back home. I described him to some as fiercely independent, his good friend said not correct, that is no where strong enough language. By the way all these years he was using a spiral staircase, I don't know how.
