I was detailing the underside when I pressed up against an air line going to the Bennett shifter. There is a rubber coupled hose attached to a cloth hose that goes to the aux air tank. To remove it, I had to pull the shifter off the transmission. This required cutting off a stubborn 3/4" thick bolt. I called a place in TX that supports these shifters and for $107 plus parts, they will rebuild it. Since it took so much effort to take this thing out, I decided to send it in and have them do their magic. Stopped at a hose shop today and had them make a new air line.
Last week I found some rotted steel under the sewer pipe section. I cut out the bad metal and welded in new 12gauge galvanized steel plate which was still coated in Por15. Seam sealed, spray foamed and finally finished it with polyiso that is also sealed at all edges. Other improvements were to fabricate a steel water tank support since the tank may bulge a bit when full of 190 gallons. On that support, I added a shelf that holds a 500 watt ceramic heater that turns on via basement thermostat. Parts are sent off to powder coat today before install.
