My Pete rebuild

[Nostalgic]

At least with a boat there's a chance of catching a fish, but this money pit has no end in sight.

I called Hunter's for prices on new housings, and while talking with my parts guy, got the number for Liberty Welding. He said he'd do them, (the price was more than a new housing, but that unless I had >.015" wear, I shouldn't waste the money and to throw the damned spacer away and set my end play to .002-006".

I'm no machinist, as I've stated, but I'm reading .007-.008" wear on the rear, and right around .010" wear on the front, with the spindle being .002" undersized overall.

Time for a nap to decide what I'm doing with it.
