Finally Working on the old Cat

Finally started working on the old Cat today. Got her up on stands and removed the exhaust and various shields and the starter today. Since tomorrow is Sunday, I won't work on it tomorrow. Monday I will fabricate a support for the engine and disconnect the drive shaft, the transmission lines, and electrical. If no complications, I should be able to drop the transmission and replace the seal and adjust the bands. And have everything back together by Wednesday.

Some were called
Some on their own went,
Some were fathers,
Some were husbands,
Some were brothers,
All were sons.

Many lie in foreign soil,
Many gave it all.
Many hearts were sorrowed,
Many paid the price,
So that freedom reigns.

From farms,
From small towns,
From big cities,
From all walks of life,
They bled the same.

Altogether they wait,
Altogether for the final bugle call.
Altogether in Elysian field.
Altogether in the deep.
In debt are we,
To those who paid it all.

This is the old cat, the body is excellent shape, the paint is faded though. Later i'll post some more pictures of the cat.

In just a few minutes I am going outside to finish getting the Jag ready to take a few pictures. I plan on posting them later on the blog if the camera is working.
