Woo hoo! Parts came in early, arrived Friday when I was expecting/told Monday. But hey, I'm not gonna complain
I get up early yesterday and once the rain cleared out, started work. Hope y'all enjoy the pics and thanks for the help!

Got the gas tank off, wire harness unhooked, choke and throttle disconnected, and everything freed up.

Nothing left to do but unbolt the engine and slide her forward (during which I learned a valuable less; you need to remove the oil drain plug to slide the engine far enough forward to get the drive shaft out. That leads to my second lesson; low-ash SAE30 Cub Cadet oil is about $6.00/qt at the local parts store if you make it before they close at noon

Anyway, couple pics of the bad parts in the tractor, then a couple of them side by side. Yeah, they were toast.
