Ferguson FE35 Grey and Gold Restoration Part 10 Preparing the Rear Axle Housing for Fitting.

[@ShainAndrews]

14:13 I do like blasting parts in preparation for painting. The catch is the parts have to be fully painted while disassembled. If you put that axle housing back on with the bare flange it will look great until rust creeps out from under the nuts where the paint can't reach. Even parade tractors stored inside year round will succumb to it when it gets its yearly bath for the big show.

I spray with Inox while Im still working on the tractor before the cleaning for paint, hopefully it wicks in.

G'day mate I thought that was a good point about the trumpet housing nuts and the eye for detail, that's what makes a detailed restoration, you can see it in that beautifully restored John Deer which is a credit to you lance regards John

g Day John, Yes it is the little things that make a difference. Hopefully each tractor I restore is to a higher standard than the one before it.

The loctite freeze off works good for chilling those races if its available there.

Yes it is but very expensive.
