Re Mrs. Holden - 2495.
With reference to the water getting into the front pivots, would the use of grease, and the hole drilled vertically from top to bottom prevent a recurrence of this trouble.
It must be tested.
I cannot think there would be much trouble with water getting into this part, if it is kept well oiled.
