Thanks, I'll try that. Hopefully it'll work. :)

I just saw a post about using Penetrol for unprotected bare metal. It's something I'm going to use. It sounds like some great stuff. I do have a question:

Does Penetrol dry like a coating of lacquer or some other clear finish, or does it leave a ...

Thanks! The allen wrench in the tool set was long enough and all went well.

I have the Greenie just about all apart. The only hold up is trying to get the Base Arm Pin removed from the Base and Base Arm . I removed the Rollpin and started to tap the Base Arm Pin . It moved about an inch and a half ...

Don't know how I missed it, but the set screws seemed a bit hidden from sight. I didn't release them. One of them was already loose because the front way tube came right out without any problem.

I'll release the rear set screw and make sure the front set screw is actually there. I haven't done it ...

beeg,

I did spread the spring near the sheave but didn't see any hole. I didn't spend very much time here though. I'll do a further inspection tomorrow.

Any ideas of how to get the rear way tube loose? Hopefully I'm missing something that's very easy. The front tube came right out, but the rear ...

You're right, it is a 1955 Greenie! Don't know how I missed that.

Having trouble removing the rear way tube. The front one came right out without too much of a problem. The rear way tube doesn't want to budge. Any tricks or hints?

I haven't tried to remove the bench tubes yet. Hope all goes well ...

I made some progress with my 1954 Greenie today. Disassembly is going well. Once I did get into the Headstock, I found a couple of issues, but rather small ones.

1. It doesn't look like there's a hole in the shaft to oil the upper sheave. I believe I did read a post about drilling a hole for this ...

Thanks to all of you who "have been there and done that"! I really appreciate this forum and all the posts. It's an amazing wealth of information.

1. I'm still pondering the idea of powder coating the parts that would be conducive to this process. I understand the thickness of the coating might be ...

Thanks JPG for your input. If I have any future questions or problems, I'll be sure to ask. I'm open to any and all suggestions.

I'm a new be to this forum from Pennsylvania, but have been engulfed in all the great information obtained here. I recently acquired a "Greenie", serial number 289385, from a friend. It was orginally purchased by his father back in the 50's. All he wanted was for it was to be removed from his garage ...
