Engine: cleaned and blasted with air. Oil sump flushed out. Fresh oil and filter. Carburetor cleaned and adjusted. Throttle cable lubed and adjusted. Starter cleaned and lubed internally...$12.

Deck: blasted, d-greased, zinc coded and painted JD yellow. New spindle and double pulley bearings. New idlers and deck belts. New anti-scalp wheels...$80.

Wheels: new front bearings, steering adjustment and modification...$20

Transmission: drained and filled with 1/2 grease and 1/2 85W145...waiting for a primary pulley to arrive to finish it...$50

A day out on the Sun (65F in Chicago right now) after 3 months of Winter, six pack of beer, working on a 27 y/o tractor just because I had noting better to do and dirty finger nails at the end of the day...priceless!!!

Check the parts I circled in red and make sure they are all straight and not bent. I have seen them bent way more than once.

You may be long gone from here, but thank you all the same. Misjudged a tight turn and slammed the left front tire into a phone pole, I'm sure something's bent and this diagram is going to help me this weekend.
