Re: 1930 Elto Speedster Compression Release?

[Buccaneer]

quote PM T2:

Your other comment leads me to advise you to put the Elto on a serious workstand or good motor stand prior to roping it through compression. Something with some weight to it is a necessity for working on bigger iron such as a Sr Speedtster.

Knowing how those motors are put together and how much weight you’re working with, its easy to imagine you pulling your workbench (with the motor) over on yourself trying to horse with that thing if its just clamped up in a vise.

Best,

Good advice for sure. I have a wood fixture that mounts in my
6" vise. After the first pull, I decided it wasn’t a good idea to
try a second!
My work bench is pretty heavy, but it’s been in the same
spot so long, I can’t remember if it’s screwed to the wall.
Some day I should move it and see what all "parts" are
under it that I couldn’t retrieve with my telescopic magnet!

Prepare to be boarded!
