Senton Craigslist rebuild pt2

[calebgilmore]

Pulled my gold senton out to clean up and service to sell and I think I fell in love with it again 2022 me wasn’t so good at assembling these… had a stripped screw in the m3 screw on the front lower rear block and the screws in the bottom of the pillar had too much loctite on them so off it came from the top. Lots of heat later I got them out. Cleaned the front end up and replaced the bulkhead pinion bearings since they were still metal shielded v4’s or older. Fresh tekjo gaskets and it was ready to go. Off to the rear I did the same bearing swap and diff service. Changed out a few of the screws that were getting rusty again to keep rcbuzz from losing his mind Thought I had another 50t spur but apparently not. I went from a 24/46 gearing to 20/46. It would have been 20/50 though! I may still buy a center diff on Jenny’s to drop in so I can make sure it don’t need the fan anymore. Also bought a hot racing front lower front block I’ll throw on it when it gets here since it’s on a stock one right now.

And just like that, the love is rekindled. Nice work.

Nothing like falling in love with an old rig again. The experience and knowledge gained over the years also makes everything easier and more enjoyable to work on! She's a good looker for sure
