Thanks for that..... See...... this is stuff I have no idea about...


I went through all the steps in the service manual until it came to removing the chain sprocket..... its never a good idea to yell into the house for your your wife's help telling her you need her weight.... She stood on the brake while I tried to get the sprocket off with a 4 foot cheater bar. The wheel still moved. Today I'm off to my scrapping buddys place looking for an impact wrench.



I'll tell you..... it gets frustrating when I used to reach over on the farm and the tools were right there..... "We" decided to "downsize"..... and it seems everything I gave up I still need at one time or another....... Luckily most of my downsizing went to one of my three boys.... Now I have to figure out which one got the 30mm socket!!


New motor arrives today
