Building a spray rig 15

Building a spray rig

Originally uploaded by Rick Tufts. Follow the process of scrap building a spray rig.
I have removed the wheel set from the spray rig andplaced it on the push trailer for mounting.
I removed the tank and washed it out. It sits in the cool sun to dry out. I am also trying to locate the center of the trailer and it is much easier to do this without the tank.
Adjustments are made and now work begins on tuning the engine.
Well, it is taking shape as I mounted the frame to the push trailer frame, next came the tank and tightening up on the hose clamps.
Now that the engine runs smooth and the pump is set, the tank has been mounted. Next comes new nozzles, extended piping and maybe a bit of wood decking.

Rebuilding an ex Great Northern M19

Originally uploaded by Rick Tufts. I am fighting the crustation found along with the rot on this car from around Minnesota.
This is showing the front of the ROC powered M19 with its one sided wooden cab.
This shows the operators side of the M19
Here is a series of pictures Ive taken in the demolition of the wooden cab
Another shot, Ive had to use a blow torch to cut the bolts...all the bolts on this car. There is an unbelievable amount of crustation and fusing of metals on the car. No way a wrench and WD40 are going to loosen them up.
The last one of the series showing the wooden floor pan out and what is left of themetal floor pan.
