Ill tell you what I see in the Image....A Crankcase,lols.
Ok the crankase has its original pattina and shine. (A Very Slight possibility its been painted,but It looks to be the original casting shine). The nuts still retain nearly all of their plating,indicating little use. The green of the base is very strong,again indicating little use. In the lower left you can see an axle housing bolt. it is sitting on what appears to be a green axle housing. The serial number is on the bottom Crank half,not top and there is no line code. The serial indicates its a sheerline lower crank half due to the DAL serial prefix and its lower crank half positioning. The serial numbers appear to have been sanded down or ground over . The only bearing i can see to it being related to the automatic would be the painted axle housing....As it appears to be in Avocado same as the base. Either way this mower seems to have seen little action from what can be seen
