after pouring the A702 babbitt bearings i immediately started assembly !
the case even got a little red paint.
i constructed a tripod to hold the motor upright for assmbly as the 3 legged tower will eventually hold the motor in the air.
now twisitng the wire for the upper section of the tower.
Thank you windybob, Paul V for the encouragement to under take this kind of project.

You did the snout bearing?? Really? That one is tricky. There is one right way and too many wrong ways for that one.
