Thanks GT. it's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it. You're welcome to come down and help.

I am trying to shake a bug, then need to do my own PW on my C-10 and get it back to my son for spring.

Hope you shake it soon. Spring is right around the corner.

Feeling pretty good, got the 36" rear discharge on the bench. Thought it might have a bad spindle bearing, but will just need an idler.

That's good news GT.

This girl is fighting me at every turn but she will be made new! I think most of the hardest disassembly is over. She's gonna need a front wheel, at least it will come off easy lol. She's been running in the back for awhile and everything engine and hydro wise is as smooth as new.

Those steering wheels are a bugger, my 12t press was pushed to the max.

This one wasn't too bad, I couldn't get the pin out so I had to snap it too. I have a 30T made in USA press I bought about 25 years ago though lol. It was high then, I'd hate to see what one like it made in USA would cost now.

It is finally all apart I think. What's on the forklift is almost ready for paint. This one is giving me a workout, about twice the labor as normal, so far... Looks like she has had the short block replaced too.

I would have never got it with the pin in, after it finally yielded still was a hard push.

If you use your press a lot it may be time for a little Craigs List shopping.

This is what got done yesterday, got the pics but never got them on here.

This is what got done today. Still a lot left to do beginning with cutting the seat off of the rear pan to see if I can save it.
