Pops, are you doing a rebuild? If so, I'm sure we all would like to see more about it. -robert

Yes, I have started on itand am taking a slew of pics as reference points. So far going pretty good on the tractor tear down. I have experience with Chevy rebuilds and am proceeding with caution. The tractor is 48 years old and appears to be mostly original. In middle of redoing front axle assembly this week and then the gas tank.
Bought the tractor 2 1/2 years ago and am guessing the governor gave up the ghost. Has low compression and lots of leaks. Like you retired so am just putzing along. Thanks for your interest and response. I was 99% sure on crank bolt but have broke stuff before 'cause of the 1% Take care "Gpops"

I was fortunate to find one that had recently been rebuilt, so the previous owner said. Mine was mostly original, but missing parts that are hard to put back on when working on them. Good luck and keep us posted. You could throw us a bone now and then as in a picture.. -kid
