There are a number of Ferret photos on RamTank.ca
Please feel free to send me your restored photos for addition.

Al,

regarding the bevel boxes, it is the over enthusiastic painter who seals the spring loaded breather on the tops of them that starts all the aggravation. They are easily taken apart and cleaned and put back in.

From what I understand, the bevel boxes were painted yellow with a leak detecting paint.....it's easier to see the fissure. Good luck with the restoration. I have a little bit of knowledge on the Ferret, so if I can help with a problem, I will, or may know someone who can. If you need a muffler, I might be able to help aswell.

Default muffler

Thanks Don that would logically explain the yellow paint. Ever heard of it on the stearing gear box right forward of the stearing wheel?
The muffler on 506 does show some brazing although I havn't remove the protective cover yet to have a good look.
Please share any info on a source for a muffler. PM me.
Thanks so much.
