Hello all,
First and foremost, I hope your Easter weekend is off to a great start. I've been plugging away just cleaning and scraping some of the small parts that I was able to bring home from the tractor. Today I made a go at rebuilding the carb - got 99% of it handled, but the only thing I haven't done is installed new throttle shaft bushings. I was looking for pointers on R&R of these. I thought I might be able to tap them, and thread a bolt into them with a base, and nut, to use as a puller. The setup would make more sense with photos, but I'd have to make it first. I'm also working on Episode 8 (which is just a carburetor rebuild episode), that even goes through my confusion as I reassemble (Shouldn't have waited a month to put it back together).
I'll include a link to the new episode once I get it edited. Until then, I'm still waiting for the machine shop to get the head and block done. Take care, and as always.. Thanks for any input.
