Time to get back to work. :tounge2

1st restoration of WHS 2.0 is Steve's 312-8 and deck. It's getting a lot of work, tires replaced, being upgraded to 8" wheels on the front, and other things you will all see as it's done. I got some before pics of it last night and it's getting tore down this morning and pressure washed this afternoon. :thumb1

Release the bolts lol. :rolling3 Whoever started the release the Kraken thing was brilliant. :laughing

This morning the rear pulleys and hubs were pulled and shafts cleaned up. I'm still waiting for the day when they aren't so stuck to come off without getting my big puller out for a change... :tounge2 :whew

This afternoon was getting it the rest of the way apart. The engine had a bad oil pan gasket leak right behind the PTO, once it was off you can see a split in the gasket there with plenty of oil around it. Inside of the engine looks great. :thumb1

Busy day on the phone like most Mondays but did get some more cleanup done and some parts blasted. The frame portion is wrapped up and ready for paint, and everything on the paint rack is ready. The rear fender needs a little work but it's easier to see and straighten after it's blasted, you can see on the left rear where it's run into something. Going good for a Monday lol. :tounge2 :laughing
