Hodge71 665 #26 Posted March 26, 2014 Just caught up on this thread Jeff, don't know how but somehow I missed it. Wouldn't have been much help though as I didn't know that an 18 has the smaller diameter spindles. I've followed the resto and the trials you've been through since with it and once again you've overcome - great work Andy ps Watching the video, that paint job on the hood is still looking good! Thanks Andy....I keep it waxed every time I wash it and Im going to give it a good washing and buffing before I get the 60 inch deck on her later this week. Its been a hard winter here and she has definitely earned some TLC. I have a hydro line leaking under the seat. I guess the brazing is cracked. Ive been dickering about pulling the line or just trying to rebraze it. I have a torch set up to so it butI have a funny feeling its going to require yanking it off at least to drain the tranny fluid from it before I get to brazing it. If its not one thing...its another. I should have the front wheel all welded up with its new bearings installed as well this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
