  Thanks Benni,

Thanks John, I'm learning a lot about files that I didn't know "I didn't know". Does that make any sense at all? :loco:  :loco: :loco: :D :D

  Made the push rods.  Started by riveting 2 pieces of stock together. I didn't have any rivets so I used 16 penny finishing nails. They worked like a charm.

 I then marked out the profile and sawed it to rough shape on my 4 x 6 saw.



 

 I then drilled out the big end an little ends and made mandrels to fit the drilled holes as I drilled them to the size of thOD of the bushings. I drilled and reamed the mandrels .250 and mounted the roughed out blanks on a piece of 1/4 thick angle iron for machining.




Here they are after machining and sanding. Still have to make the bushings.

That's fine work you're producing there Ron!  :clap: :clap:

It's way beyond my capabilities. But I admire a man as can.  :thumbup:

  Thanks David D, But don't short yourself. If I can do it you can too.
  I've never done this before and am just following all the advice and techniques I can find on the web and Kozos' book on building the Pennsylvania A-3 Switcher.
   I bow to all who have posted said info and am greatly in their debt.

   Ron
