On Saturday, a lot of work got done on the 309. I was busy most of the day and only got a chance to take two pictures. The main thing is that we got the next bearing for machine #2 installed. Dan Fenlaciki was an invaluable help here, as he can keep pounding parts into place longer than anybody I know. In the picture below, you can see the bright outer surface of the bearing flange, but unfortunately that's about it. But in any case the car can now move under its own power again.
We also had a lot of help from Ted and Ashtin, who did most of the inspection work on the car. I was glad to assist them, of course, but it's always good to have new people participating in the inspection process. They often notice something I've overlooked.
Joel said that the 309 will be staying over the pit this next week, so I'm hoping to install new bearings on the #1 motor if I can. Stay tuned!
