Flywheel installed along with the front cover and the rear main. Should have the pan and head on this week.

Main problem I have now is the carb rebuild. I cant get the brass parts out of the cast iron body for gasket replacement.

Have you soaked the carb in anything for a period of time?

It sat a bucket of Crown PSC 1000 Parts Cleaner for 2 months.

While this parts cleaner does a good job on oily engine parts Im not impressed with its ability to cut through dirt and crud. I am currently giving this fitting a steady diet of Kroil.

After 3 days soak in kroil it finally came loose with some cold chisel and hammer action. Carb is now rebuilt. Also got the rear main installed and hope to have the pan and head installed this weekend.

How`d the carb look? i`m supervised you were able to salvage it .
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Like most tractor carbs it had about a half inch of baked on oil/dirt. The inside had that greenish yellow film that filled all of the pours of the casting. I was able to clean that with carb cleaner and small brass wire brush.

Those old cast iron carbs are pretty robust. If all else fails soak it in muratic acid. it will be sparkling clean for @30 seconds then it will start to flash rust. I've saved many old carbs like that.

Yeah you gotta dip in in an equal strength alkaline bath right out of the acid for a min or too then rinse in clean very hot water. The heat from the water heats up the part and aids in drying faster.

Yup, that's the fastest way to do it. If you want to go the incremental route, then start with a 3:1 solution of white vinegar and water. Bring it a boil in an old pot and put in the carb. Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, then remove and rinse with water. It works almost as well as the old fashioned "hot dip" carburetor cleaner solvent we used to get in the 60s and 70s before the EPA banned it.

He may have been asking in an Aussie sort of way about the displacement and HP. ;)

Moving right along on the ollie.  :bravo_2:

When your done I'll bring the super 55 up and you can go thru it. It just has a bad injector pump a burnt PTO clutch pack and 20 yrs of neglect to get right.
