I bought a new sight glass because it was inexpensive for a real one that has no plastic in it. Aluminum body and real glass for the window. Maybe overkill but since I have it apart I may as well fix it right. I hate the original which is all plastic and splattered with two colors of paint. The new one should be here tomorrow according to UPS tracking.
I got the tapered roller bearings today, genuine Timken, so now I have everything I need to start the re-assembly. I'll be cleaning up all the parts for the next few evenings and then work on the re-assembly this weekend. I need to figure out how I'm going to press all this stuff together with nothing but a 1 ton bench-top arbor press with not enough height clearance to be of much use for this project.
Well, I've bored you enough so I'll stop with the ramblings.
