Very similiar to the Model T Ford rear axles I been pulling apart. Between the 600W grease and the dissolved babbitt the gunk is undescribable. Getting enough of the original Hyatt roller bearings and sleeves (need 4 each) to complete one axle as an extra.
Good idea. Bet they will come in handy when you get another axle to overhaul.
Lack of maintenance (even as simple as an oil change, takes 10 minutes) seems to be a common thing...
