Started the TC disassembly this morning and will continue tomorrow (sat) afternoon and the mornings next week. Jake did ask why I was rebuilding. Well there is 239k miles on it and it was leaking, and was caked in grime/dirt and oil before I cleaned it up. The current appearance is very good compared to what I started with.
Some great other threads with better pictures listed here:

Decided to take pics of the various steps for my own use and logging on the thread. Might be useful for others. For my own sanity, I put groups of parts/nuts together in zip lock bags so they can be put back together as a group. Interestingluy Jake indicates he can could a rebuild in a hour or two, but he has done several and is doing one also today in the insertion of a H55 rig from California. Yeah, the guy drove it all the way up here to have that done, the axle rebuilt and exhaust fixup.
What I started with last summer:
After cleaning last summer.
Drained the oil and now on the table removing the control lever.
FSM starting on page TF-12, 28 steps of disassembly:
Step 2, followed by 3, 5 and 6. (Gotta get me one of those small magnetic tools - used grease on a screw driver to get the balls out at step 5)
My young friend Ted doing Step 7a and 7b
Step 7c
Un-staking the nut was harder than I thought, to bend them back up.
Used an air gun to remove the nut, which occurred very easily.
Used a 36mm socket but it was a bit too big yet worked fine to spin the nut off. Could not find a 35 mm socket in the 4 tool box sets at the barn. The 34mm was too small.
Only had an hour this morning before heading off to income generating work. More tomorrow afternoon.
Saturday progress:
Step 8, remove front and rear companion flanges, front shown
