Parson's Progress


Before, and....

....well, hopefully it's obvious.

Finished the cosmetic and mechanical renovation of the Parsons gearbox, spraying a final coat of machinery grey on Sunday (8th).  As the "before" photo shows, this took some serious sanitising - waterblasting, paint stripping, scraping, elec. wire brushing, sanding, vinegar dipping, parts washing, more scraping, waterblasting, painting.... then new seals and bearings.  But ready to be filled with fluid and mated to the 100E motor now.
