So finally got home and tried to loosen the retaining ring on the muffler, (penatrant oil soaked since last night) with no joy. I'm worried that any more force may damage the casing on the mower. Is there an easier way to remove the muffler?
Photos uploaded, had to be a little quiet so no photo of the chains or gearing yet as bub was asleep on the other side of the back wall, any tips on what i may need to get sorted as a priority during my restoration?
Am hoping to get to this during winter as the machine is cutting pretty well at the moment and would like to see the growing season out with it before pulling her apart.
