Got the lower back together. It is somewhat easier than putting a watch back together. Certain things like getting the pinion in place, and nut on will test your patience. A little tape on a wrench to hold the nut and a little twisting of the driveshaft to get it started while you hold the droplight with your third hand. I didn't beat the book time on the repair but it is holding gear dope and I don't have any parts left over. Seems to shift great by hand. All that is remaining is mounting it to the motor and testing.

Default Fix one thing then another..

Repair complete, save for the test on the hose to ensure the idle and shifting is OK. Contactor in the starter solenoid welded itself closed on the second attempt to start, had to scramble around to get the battery wires disconnected from the battery and hopefully prevented any damage to the starter.. Weak battery, will charge today and order another starter solenoid. Reel was just saying something about an onboard charger?

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
