dear guys

 

we started to restore an M10 some weeks ago,it's a good basis,but missing some parts

big missing part is the 3 inch tube.We have mantlet and mounting ,recoil system but no tube.so looking for one

at this moment hull is empty,we start to weld damaged steel.

all mecanic is out of the hull

we are dismantling the gearbox to change seal and bearings .It's now that things are difficulticon_post_target.gif

i have big problem with the differential pinion 's nut

it's a special nut with theeth ,we tryed everything but impossible to remove it

does someone done this job ? may be someone have the special tool and we can borrow it ?

 

i will prepare some pictures of the restoration

best wishes

hello guys

 

no richard it's a right thread

i make a special tool today and removed the nut,but it was very hard.

now i am removing all gears to change the bearings

gear are like new but the gearbox stayed lot of years without oil so bearing are little rusty and need to be changed.

 

i also dismantled 4 boggies and will finish the 2 last may be this week

they need to manufacture new parts,shaft etc..that is not a problem as we have machine tools at home

i will have new spring suspension next month.
