Blah.

.
.
I did get the mower assembly of.  The example must have been a smaller one.  This one had nearly twice the number of pins, was four by two feet and weighs in north of #100.  I did take the two belt covers off in order to clean the top off, then used a screwdriver to loosen dried grass.  There wasn't much to clean, it was mostly fiddling and learning.  The blades need sharpened, badly. I may see if the bastard file will do.  Banged up hard though.  May have to adjust some things.

That was it.  As things are I am surprised I got to that.  With that off, installing all else should be straight shots.  Not necessarily easy, just not as mechanically complicated.  I also cleared a new, better, place to park it, at least for winter use.  If rhubarb pops naturally next year, I may keep it there.  It's nearly a two-side-closed covered shed.  A bit of plywood would keep it fully shaded.

She needs oil.  I didn't find anything about using a winter grade oil.  As well, I don't yet know how to change the oil.  More to learn and do, hopefully before it gets nasty cold, wet or snowy.  I am getting there.  Later or good night.
