Wel I decided to go ahead and remove the kt17 from the 782 while I'm waiting on the oil seal to get here. Just to do some cleaning. I don't think this thing has ever been off none of the bolts looked to be touched or anything and it defiantly looks like 33 years of gunk built up a lot with a 3 year oil leak adding to it. I got the old putty knife out.and I bet it was a half to 3/ inch deep in some spots. I might.tear it down further to do some more cleaning... The hydro pump looks as if it.dosnt even have cooling fins on it. I snapped acouple pics. One of shortly after I got the engine pulled after I scraped some stuff off and found a bunch of corn on the frame rail. In the " clean" pic you can see the pile of junk off of the axle crossmember .. its nasty.. and that factory.red is Purdy what's the oddest think yall have found laying in the years of gunk ?
