Crane oiled with factory grease

Instead of vigorous dragster building we made a scooter crane.


Small steps were also taken in the dragster front: we took the Vega front end apart and diagnosed what needs replacing. Outcome was little bit depressing as practically everything that can worn out had done so. This had happened even though there were some original Innocenti factory grease from sixties still left! The grease was obviously used to lubricate moving parts of the new crane. We also noticed that cast iron part of the brake drum was rusty inside so there is some rust removing in our ever growing agenda.

During next weekend Loonie #1 is going to his warehouses in countryside in look out for more parts. Hopefully he'll return with trunk full of NOS Vega front end parts and some other goodies. If things go as we have planned we can start working on the engine.
