That's refreshing to see. we haven't got around to cleaning ours down yet every time we think well do it something else crops up. We do keep a close eye on it and make sure she's kept vermin proof.
Didn't get finished though. As with you more just to make sure vermin not got it. Father was on guard with the gun on start up but nothing came out (y)
Also good to get oil round the engine and top up/circulate the anti freeze before the "cold spell"

It only has a small run of weld about every 18” not the full length so didn’t need to put loads of heat into it.
I would have thought a dryer will have a pretty substantial center tube and is probably only spot welded also, so would worry to much about keeping it straight.

Why aren't they built with bearings in the end of the flight?
