Hello Friends,

Did a little work on the TD today.  Here's the place where I started:
Rust on the roll where it attaches to the tub.

Here's that same flange on the roll, after cleaning, removing the
rust, sanding and primering.

Here's the wider view.

As you can see, I'm working from high to low (so gravity helps, not
hurts) and from the middle of the frame outward, cleaning degreasing,
de-rusting as I go.

And here are a couple more looks, a little closer in.

While the primer was drying, and to keep from spreading sanding dust
into the wet primer, I moved to the engine.  I removed the plenum -
the air cleaner had already been removed and refinished - and the
carbs.  Here they are on the (exceptionally messy) bench.

And here's where they came from.

Here are a couple more pictures, just to document the coming-apart process.
