Wilesco D305 Fire Truck First Steam

A first steam up of an unfired Wilesco fire truck. It went mostly as planned other than getting the wheel moving. The chain feels very tight although I don't know if that is the problem. The gears on the drive side of the transmission have no play to the extent I think they maybe pinching and binding on the bearing where it is mounted making it stiff. I'll poke about further.
