 This morning, Jim put a new cord on his saw so that he can use it without an extension cord...

A coat of paint on all the new shelves!

Then Jim was down in the metal shop coming up with a plan to be able to press out the bearing on the rear axle.  Here he's drilling a hole in a thick piece of steel angle...

Unfortunately, this press won't do the job - Jim has a new one on order.  But he was showing me the plan...

He was able to get his bigger bearing splitter underneath so that will be better...

He ordered some bigger steel rods that he will use - those came in today...

While he was this far into the repair, he decided to replace the master cylinder.  He got the old one out but then discovered that they didn't include a needed gasket with the new one.  He'll be investigating that issue as well.
