I consider this a preservation more than a restoration. Restoration is a whole other level. There was hours of time spent at the wire wheel and bead blast cabinet. I hired out the blasting of the frame. Glad I did! The Pump was a challenge. It was bronze and extremely heavy. Once I had shortened the boom on my engine hoist It didn't lift high enough to clear the frame. I ended up lowering the frame. . If you want more info on the work I can do that. All i can say is I'm glad I lived long enough to see it thru. The one picture is of it stripped down at the museum after they painted it the 'proper Seagrave red'.
