Got all parts chrome plated locally. Much easier than doing it myself :) Wasn't that expensive either ($75)

All primed, filled and ready to coat of paint and assembly. Getting there slowly. Waiting on parts but should be here soon.

Well. Thats a problem/dilemma right now. I really like to work with tractor paint from Valspar, it works for me (I'm not painter) and affordable. Makes very nice finish when used with hardener.

So I picked this "Ford grey" as on a label it looks very similar to original paint. See bottom of can. Sprayed small parts and internals yesterday and it came out very close to white, just a shade of gray. Nothing like on a label.

I have another can with black paint remains and I'm thinking about mixing little black into this paint to make it slightly darker. Or just paint like this? Will look like Consew :)

Really bad news :( My iphone screen became unresponsive and they (Apple) had to give me a new phone. I couldn't even do backup (and they can't assist). Got new phone, which is nice, but all detailed pictures I took during disassembly now gone. I have couple pictures here and there but mostly will need to work off memory during assembly :(

Fear not.

I had a similar thing happen to me when I replaced the timing belt on my wife's Audi a couple years ago.  That job required taking apart LOTS of stuff just to get to where the work needed to happen.  Not only did I get it back together, I had no parts left over (bonus!) and the car started & ran perfectly with the first turn of the key.

Give yourself some credit.  After all this time & work, you know the internals of that machine intimately; even if you don't realize it.  You'll get it back together without a problem. :spoton:

Yeah, I'm sure I will figure it out, all parts are different so it shouldn't be a big deal. Plus I posted many pictures in this topic which will be helpful.

There is a lot of adjustments in machine and I was hoping to set everything in a rough "ballpark" using pictures, no way to do it anymore. Plus there is adjusting washers in skiving knife shaft which go to the certain side and now I will not remember it.

Definitely not in rush completing this one. But new project requiring skiving came up and I'm back on a track. Will be even harder to remember what goes where but so far moving along. Did pre-assmebly of major components, bolted all that supposed to be painted together - together. Replacing all bearings, packing all with synthetic grease.

Wait for paint to cure, scuff and do 2nd coat. I picked this darker color, not similar to original but I like it, looks nice in person.
