This mornings work session was very productive... First off we installed the newly finished air filter brackets.
The plumbing connections were assembled from the water outlet on the prime mover to the radiators.
The forward fan was reinstalled ,, It was removed in order to gain access to the top bolts on the radiators.
The batteries were also charged, and with the cylinder cocks open and the fuel pump shut off we pre-lubed the engine and rotated her a few times .
We also checked out some of the firebox grates and hangers for the Boston and Main steamer that were being inspected. The entire Firebox was X-rayed and Magna fluxed, we should hear back on the results soon.
While all of this was going on Little #26 was outside putting on the best show she could.
