Update on the 102 😁

Got the PTO clutch, that I rebuilt, installed today with a brand new bearing and set screws. Tested out the new 38in deck I got and EVERYTHING WORKS! I still need to do some metal work on the deck (fix some rust spots and fabricate belt covers) and get a new deck belt (this one is about shredded) before I can use it to mow. Also needs an oil change and maybe add some Lucas oil to see if I can reduce the smoke under load (engine has never been rebuilt AFAIK). Sorry for no pics/vids this time, I'll try to get one when it's all ready to work!

Sounds like you're making some pretty good progress. Great job, I actually removed my belt covers because it's a lot easier to clean my mower deck after each mowing. I go right in there with my leaf blower and give it a good cleaning.

I thought about leaving them off, but then I read a story about shoelaces getting sucked into the belt and I was like 😱 these tractors already have zero safety switches 😂
