VERY NICE clean up of the internals! Glad to see this puppy is getting the FULL treatment. Looks like it will as good, if not better than new when you are done.

GM,

Are you going to put a slightly bigger engine pully on her??

My thoughts, with the 50 % increase in HP, you might want the auger and impeller to turn a little faster, and use the extra HP!!

Also, looks as though you are going to end up with a better than new machine. Even better than a brand new one!!!!!

My 1128 had the wider ones, and my 926 has the slimmer ones. Can I see the hubcaps when they are complete?
