Flop Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 The screws on the cover had been coated 4 times a day with PB Blaster for over 2 weeks, they were flat head machine screws and the heads just stripped. I'll definitely be replacing them with hex head or allen head bolts. Anyone know what this is on the side of it, looks like it has a key hole.

Flop Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Clinton, I am going to take the handle off this afternoon and put it back in the diesel. There is a ton of trash down in the bottom of the gear housing so hopefully the diesel can loosen that up, I hope I can get it freed up without having to remove the gears.

Bill in Oregon Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have a No. 40 Champion too, but have never opened her up. Thanks for the views of the innards, and good luck making her sing again. I sure do like mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
