flywheel is a good start
there may be user manuals available somehow
if you need to strip it an impact driver and /or a nut splitter could be in the toolkit along with the pullers and hammer(pad any blows and dont hit any cast iron bits) , obtain good spanners,it probably only needs a few spanners but they are likely to be whitworth or american fine sized(metric on such bolts will slip and chew) if you use a big stilson or such you will need new bolts.the manual may well have a spanner list .
a warm with a blowlamp/torch can often release old bolts ,heat the female part (or both m and f and cool the male )works best,be gentle or bits can pop or be on fire.
the soak in wd or parrafin /diesel can help a lot ,if time is not a problem the longer the soak the more chance there is of it coming loose
another good soak is cola (the cheap diet cola stuff is fine but the real thing is rather good)this dissolves many gunky and inorganic salty rusty things in machinery that oils wont
dont force anything ,if it is stuck check that is does remove the way you think it does and if it does return to loosening methods
that sort of kit was built for field maintenance so i recon you could strip and restore it if you had inclination to
a wire brush,emery cloth and wd40 is your friend when de rusting ,chemical rust removers leave pits but abrasive works from the highest surface down and any pits are minimally enlarged , gently clean pits later to retain maximum surface |
