I got a good bit more done today, will post some pics later...just wanted to post a few developments / revelations:
I called the sandblaster today to find out what was up with the mower deck. He had me leave it outside the shop door one afternoon. Now he doesn't know where it is. He thinks it was stolen.
So I guess he's trying to find me a new one. Great.
The motor is torn down and at the machinist (pics forthcoming) but I wanted to note that the balancing gears were not present - so the engine's definitely been broken down before.
