This one popped up, a little further away than I would have liked but I had been keeping an eye out for a 44A deck to run on my 122, and this turned up with a deck. It had a blown seal so it was sold as "needs work". I got it home and all the work was pretty much done. They clutch was off (the button and retainers are ruined) and the clamshell pulley was already loose. All I had to do was slide it off, and pull out the seal which had come loose and fell inside, and install a new one which I had on hand already. I put some gas in it, and it ran started seeping out through the fuel line, so I replaced that. Turned it over, and it fired right up and it runs. Not great, but it runs. I'm sure there's probably some junk in the carburetor that needs cleaned out from sitting, but the engine sounds good, and didn't smoke.
The deck is in really good shape, it is missing the left front skid though.
