A pile of rust

Been awhile since I've spent any real time outside with the Mistress. I fired up the kerosene heater and went out in the barn on this sorta nice 40 degree January day. Got alot of bolts off which wasn't such a big deal in most cases because the good old 50 year old grease coating kept things rust-free. I pulled off the brake and clutch linkage and the brake master cylinder. Still have to figure out how to pull the pedals and since I got off the steering gear box, I have to figure out how to pull the steering gear arm. It seems to just be a pressed on fit, but I can't fit a pickle fork in the space to get it wedged in there. Oh yeah, I also started removing the emergency brake, but got stopped when I found that I didn't have a socket to fit the nut on the end of the drum. Oh well, a nice big pile of rust and a bunch of old nuts and bolts and washers remained behind to say that I got something done. Maybe I'll take a look at the Harrison heater tomorrow.
