Re: Restoration
Put the tub on drums, etc. and suspended by the boards. If the tub is pointing to the back of the shed (engine to the front), can you roll the chassis assembly forward? This will leave the tub in the air and then stick a dolly under it for moving around. Or a trailer if one is handy. If the tub is t...

Re: Restoration
Yes, the rear end was obviously designed for assembly and not maintenance. The position of the rear fuel tank also makes removal of stuck chassis spring bushings something to pause about. So far as removal is concerned, I think I would get some drums or items similarly stable and use a jack to lift ...

Re: Restoration
My first thought was too much current. What if the steel box section you connected the wires to protruded above the water line (so that the wires are not immersed at all), would that still work?

Re: Restoration
Nicely done, given the tools to hand.
Mine is getting to the point of needing a rebuild, but I'm put that off as long as possible.
