Ok folks, good progress on her today. Pulled the hood and grill housing off first:

Came off pretty well, although one of the nuts was really rusted out bad. Found a set screw, washer, and nut hidden in some packed dirt that I'd never previously been able to access. Who'd have thought those would be there?

Next I went at the basket pulley. Had some side to side play to it, my thought was worn keyway as that seems to be a relatively common issue. Nope, keyway was clean and straight. No wear at all. Instead, she suffered from a worn
key 
. Very easy fix, rotated the key 90 degrees, put it back in, tightened up the set screws, and it was nice and tight, no more play!
With that done I put it all back together for the most part, didn't have the time to get it completely done but everything is covered up again. Next task is to set the governor to be more sensitive.
