Tin Lizzies of Albuquerque - April 30th - Work Party at the Azevedo's

Club for Model T Ford Enthusiasts

Work Party at the Azevedo's Garage

The main project at the work party on Saturday, April 30th was to cast babbitt for the rod bearings for Tim O'Brien's 1923 fire truck. Neil O'Brien prepared the rods by blasting and wire brushing. Larry demonstrated how to flux the bonding surfaces, pre-heat the rods, melt the babbitt to the correct temperature, and pour the bearings. With careful preparation, the bearings bonded well to the rods and were ready for filing and boring.
