Good to see your progress.

Thanks twoton - slow but sure.

Getting a little painting done (just spray cans so far). Tires arrived today.

Is #6, the "Retainer, Bearing Snap Ring" something that comes off when you take the PTO off or just if you remove the #2 "Bearing/w Snap Ring"? I removed the PTO and there was no snap ring. Thanks in advance for the advice.

If i recall correctly, the snap ring you circled is inside the clutch pulley casting. The bearing is pressed against the snap ring by the set screws.

There you go Ironman. You got one painted up that way let’s see it!

Your going along as a great pace, the snap ring should be changed as they do fail and it ruins your honey bee paint job. I would have got new PTO fingers though...

Thanks, but this is ColoradoCadet's thread.

Thanks everyone, good details. I appreciate the advice. I will look at getting new fingers and a snap ring. I thought the fingers looked solid, but I've never seen new ones so I don't know what good ones even look like.

Assuming this is the snap ring you are referring to, if it looks good let it be. The fingers you would be able to tell if they are chewed up. From your picture they look ok.
