Quick update for those following, the reel is adjusted to the bed knife as is the leveling of the rear roller to the bed knife. Chains are greased and adjusted as is the drive cork sprokets and drive leaver.
Engine installed with a new throttle cable and adjusted for full to low throtle as well as clutch being installed and adjusted.
It looks all good for now will know once I get it on the green and give it its first test run to make sure everything is adjusted perfect.
I ended up scraping the paint off the engine mount bolts back to zinc.
Will post more photos of the finished restoration once I get it out side in the sun light and can take photos from different angles, for now it's living in the house as I'm making a trolley crate for it to live on for when I store it in the garage so it doesn't get dusty bumped and knocked around as well as not to wear the rollers on the concrete or scrape the bed knife or reel on uneven concrete.
