When the cats away...the mouse will play....
So my wife was away this past weekend visiting cousins for Christmas which left me alone in the house with no adult supervision.
What did I do?
Smoke cigars in the house? Nope
Let the cat sleep on the good furniture? Nope
Set up a pole and bring skanky strippers in? No, worse than that....
Cleaned the transmission parts in the kitchen sink and in the tub.
My cellar has turned into a workshop since it's too damned dark and cold out in the garage. I turned an area carpet upside-down to do the dis-assembly work of the T-87 crash box and then brought the small parts into the kitchen sink for degrease and wash. The bigger parts went in the tub - the only one in the house. Links to pictures below.
To conceal my horrible actions I scrubbed the areas afterward and left a decent amount of dirty dishes in the sink.
Now I gotta remember to unsubscribe to my thread so nothing shows up in my e-mail......

Hmmm I wonder what this will cost you...blackmail wise. FTE is world wide.
But seriously You can get a galvanized water trough and a small pond pump from a farm supply or tractor supply and a couple gallons of purple clean or the cleaner of your choice and use it as a parts washer for future use if you have anymore large items to clean.
Some parts will not fit in those dinky little commercial parts washers.

I dried out the parts next to the woodstove and spray painted them with primer and topcoat. With the window open down there. The fumes were still hanging just a little bit in the house when she came home. I fessed up to the painting, figuring it is no worse than nail polish remover she uses some times.
Still planning the next move.....how to spin the transmission through the gears to test the re-assembly quality when the time comes. I'm thinking about the washing machine motor and a drivebelt on some type. Maybe the starter motor and a six volt battery.....hmmmmmm

Gotta be a story behind that, what happened?
Holy smokes If I got caught with greasy car parts in the dishwasher you'd be reading about what happened to me on CNN. I'll take a chance on the tub....but the dishwasher is the difference between taking a simple beating and getting chopped up with kitchen knives and fed to wild coyotes.
