That trick of shrink-expand works every time . First saw that when fitting steel rist pins in aluminum pistons. I was concerned about cracking that casting when heating a cold casting, but it worked. Thanks for the info on the wall construction. Very unique!
While tapping in the bearing into the housing to help keep the bearings in place I would have used a pipe the covered the bearing or use the mating shaft to drive it in...
Every time you go into this room my attention is immediately drawn to the walls. It looks like the wall is composed of spilt fire wood with some type of white chinking?
The walls are made of stacked firewood with blown in type insulation between the pieces of wood. Approximately 16 in thick. Looks funny but it was cheap and works great.
Thank you for your response. I love to see other peoples creativity. So your wall is a modern day modification of a log cabin. @@tractorrescueranch3682

I've done ring gears on to flywheels like that..... They drop right on. Thanks Tom.

Ha! I love it! The advantages of living in Wyoming, when doing a shrink fit put the part outside in -10 F weather.
