Got this several weeks ago from the original owner. He told me that first the drive went out, then one day it wouldn't start, and it got parked in the shed 30 years ago. I looked it over, saw the extras that came with, did the math...and offered $50 for everything, which was accepted...here it is... There's brackets for a couple rear bags, old and new side bag setups, mulch and discharge plates, some fluids and grease tubes and the owner's manual. I've since disabled the drive, pulled some parts and converted it to a pusher seeing the bronze gear for the driveshaft was munched...left the shaft and tranny in place because I don't have a welch plug to fill the hole in the engine. I cooked the muffler, cleaned the carbon from the ports, replaced the blown out lower seal and baked the coil to get it running. I'll take a couple fresh pix of it tomorrow.
