Started reassembly today.
Considering how little work the engine has done was amazed at how badly the tyres were scruffed and worn out, so replaced the wheels with some ball bearing one's off donor mowers. Will have to replace bearings one day.

Couple of pic's. Put the height adjuster and rear offside wheel on first, remembering how convenient these items were for holding the frame in a nice position for working underneath.

Had thought I was on the ball remembering to put the bottom exhaust clip in before bolting the engine down, only to see afterward that the clip had slid around requiring loosening the bolts again....duh!
It pays to put the near side rear axle on before mounting the tilt adjust/belt tensioner bar and housing, it can be done but awkward.

Probably shouldn't have painted the above mentioned bar as a little gripy for the belt tension, if it gives any trouble will wire brush it.
Tidied up barrel and crankcase with a quick brush paint. The paint on the frame is a couple of remnant cans of Galmet more than 15 years old!

BTW thanks DJ for localizing/correcting images. They used to upload straight off(?)
