Actually its $4.98. Problem is I used 1 can and lost 1 can (it will show up eventually, maybe), so does that mean I paid $9.96?

Your flywheel looked horrible! Mine was fairly clean, but the stator was pretty gunk filled. Maybe about August I may have time to pull the M20 out of the 2072 and give it a good cleaning. Hopefully that lost can of paint will surface by then!

Yeah, it was pretty dirty John. Didn't notice it till I went to put it on today, and it was like, Holy Crap...

lol. Getting some mileage out of that $5 paint.

What brand is it again?

And where do I get me some?

Made me some oil lines. I know, I know, they ain't pretty, but they will be functional. Also used a couple pieces of hose for Grommets. Finished putting the engine all back together.

Just my 2 cents but I would have used something like Aeroquip hose and fittings

Okay, I'll see your 2 cents, and ... You don't like the hose, or clamps, or you thinking it'll leak? Nothing is set in stone, there is time to use an alternate route.
Just figured it's low pressure, and there wouldn't be an issue. I had a hose made at Napa today for the 782, but they used hydraulic hose, and it's stiffer than a teenage boy in the girls locker room.
Plus on the 782, the hard lines had the threaded connections still intact, but this one was already "worked on" if you smell what I'm stepping in?

Imagine that, another cluster fudge. Took the axle out to tighten up the tunnel, and saw the rockshaft needed some attention. First off the PO welded washers on the end of the lift pins, I guess to keep the "lift thingy's" on.
Guess this tractor was only going to hook up to whatever attached to them. He had a bolt in the rockshaft, course when I went to remove it, the darn thing broke off. So, drilled it out, and imagine that, the rockshaft still won't come out...
So I ground down the weld on the end of the lift pins, to remove this mess. One is still good, but one not so good, and that's where I stopped. Tomorrows another day, if not, someone else can fix it. Or?

Or replace it with one that I know "who" has one.

You'll get it, Todd! The 782 is looking good in the background. Love the red IH weights! Can't wait to get a set for 121.
