Spent yesterday and today pouring new bearings for Mike Neely's 50LG... Seems lots of people have interest in what it takes to do it... Thought I would share some photos..
Here is what I started with... caps and frame all cleaned up with all the gook burned out.
Set up with the mandrel in place prior to the pour
The finished bearings in the caps..
A couple pics of the finished bearings in the frame, you can see the spacers are still in the babbit..
Not sure what happened to the post with the clutch pics... So here they are again
The mandrel and the ring I used to press the mandrel out..
The clutch poured with mandrel still in place
Turning the clutch bearing
Finished bearing ready to work!
