Mighty Mite Maintenance

Post by Radar4xfour » Thu Jul 22, 2021 5:19 am

I completed the rebuild / restoration of my M422A1 in 2015, just in time to bring it to the MVPA convention in Topeka, KS. My efforts were rewarded with a 1st place award in its class and the Judges Choice / Best of Show award. Fast forward 6 years and I needed to do my 1st repair. The fan bearing was very noisy so I finally convinced myself to replace it. An hour after starting the project I was able to remove and replace the fan bearing assembly. Like some, I spent more time thinking about and procrastinating doing the repair than what it actually took to complete it. Enjoy working on your projects, it is always great to read about and see pictures of what you are all working on!

Regards,

Radar

Awesome! Years ago I purchased a lot of extra NOS parts such as the fan hub assembly. :D
