You can change those bushings out and use wheel bearings instead. Bushings wear the spindles down so you might want to check those too. :twocents-02cents:

Probably not the most important thing on such a time crunch job

Fuel line, sediment bowl outlet directly to the carb. That line is short and just suspends. Not a bad idea to put a fuel filter in there too

The choke is just a direct link wire from the lever to the carb. no conduit

Throttle cable loops from the lever towards the hood stand and goes to the carb from the bottom

:text-yeahthat:

Z bend on the bottom of the wire to fit the carb and a throttle cable swivel fitting on the lever so it can be slid into place then locked down once it's all adjusted correctly

It's a solid link to the lift arm. Here's the manual below. I don't have one around any more to measure it for you but shouldn't be to difficult to figure out when it's mounted to the tractor.

Do you have the pedal? goes on the right side foot peg. That's used to release the index pin and yes, a rope connected to the top corners of the blade and draped over the hood was used to swivel it back and forth

Clean the groove on that engine pulley. I can see all the rust in the pic. It must be clean and smooth, no paint either

Some of those can be a PITA and the belt guard can be tweaked around a little by loosening the bolts, adjust tighten

There's a bar with a hole right on the indexing part behind the blade. Then to the lift handle. The bend in the lift bar link is to avoid hitting the hood.

Pretty sure it's this hole but it's been 20 years since I sold all of the attachments. Or hook it up to hole on the plow frame and see where it lines up on the lift handle
