Well, SteveC that was a good post. Knowing how you loved and cherished your machines, it must have been a heart breaker to find them that way. How long did it take you to recondition the machines, so that they didnt turn your stomach looking at them?
I think that this would have been a good test for dry Ice blasting, I wonder if that would have done more harm than good. Thanks for sharing the adventure it looks like a lifetime project.
Now for the sprocket plate the time required to make this is dependent on material selection or availability and machinery.
From experience I estimate the time required to go through all the steps of machining the features of the part, then take this time and multiply it by 2 and that my friend is pretty accurate for me.
Good luck with the snow blow.. I would just have turned the seat around and get a remote.
