hey fellas. picked up a 129 yesterday. was riding around for a bit until the tire went flat, so parked it in the garage and got to work. first off, the P.O. broke off the hydro lever and decided he wanted to use vice grips instead
removed tunnel cover, seat pan, discovered the steel flap on the tunnel cover to push in the check valves rusted and broke off, and the hydro and everything is caked in crap, as is the screen over the flywheel and all underneath. a bunch of missing bolts,etc. small stuff so far. i plan on taking the engine out, power washing everything, giving it a quick coat of paint and some much needed fluid changes, along with repairing the damage that others have done over the years.
also got a 3 blade mower deck + sub frame. not sure what model?
just though i'd share with everybody, i keep reading others' threads and have been getting antsy to get another
few more pics
