OK no extra charge for the fine patina. My last one you better hope I don't need this for a project.
Check the package 'cause I gotta push it in a hole. The package is already sealed and was supposed to go out yesterday but RJG forgot to go to the post office...
had a 36 rd on a C165 --- wish i still had it - - terrific little mower - - makes great cut on lawn -- I just got another old 36 that i have stripped down -- about to go to sandblaster to clean off rust then needs 2 new spindles - - then prime and paint - - they seem to be hard to find -- especially without rust holes in shells
I may have one too. Ya know Squonky you can make one easily enough if you know the length. I'm sure you have z bend pliers. I think I used wire from a throttle cable. Lemme know if Randy bones ya I'll slip it in the t shirt package.
I have a pair of front rims in my eBay store.

I have a Toro 520xi for sale. Works as it should, about 1,000 hours. All orginal including tires. No mule drive or mower deck. Has a front push blade in decent condition.
I'll continue what I'm trying but it's a slim chance. Don't put a lot into what you were told about the 10 pinions failing. It's true that the 8 pinion diffs are a bit tougher but not enough to really consider. Maybe only on built up pulling tractors. I'll let you know if I have any luck.
The 48" I have is really smooth. I had to replace the center spindle and pulley (NOS). It was loose for the PO for some reason and fouled the keyway. Blades line up perfectly. The chute was cut square at some point as some like to do and I'm indifferent about that but it does dispense the clippings well that way. There was some thinning near the chute and one spot on the left side rusted through that I built up with two layers of 8# woven cloth and epoxy so it's not unmolested but I would be critical to give it a B+ now that I've tested it. I put a new Huskee belt on it this weekend so it's ready to go.
Nope struck out. I have one left but need it. Go fish on the hex piece as well. See your other thread ... looks like Ed dog has the arm tho.
Makes great sense David but I have this purist addiction.
You may want to consider eliminating all of those parts you are needing and convert to a mule drive instead.
Reference attached PDF files for two options.
I have a couple of the 8-5551 kits available for sale if interested.
