Got it all cleaned up except for the engine compartment...Looks good...Had to be careful of the light cover as I heard they break easy...tabs that is... the 317 deck is pretty robust...I can see where the plastic hood and side panels can be a problem as I had to fabricate a mounting bracket for the lights in the back.. 2 of the screw posts where broken but a toggle bolt through the front end to the light brackets worked great and secures them nicely..
I dont think the PO ever and I mean ever cleaned this thing...I am surprised the deck even spun with all the grass packed under the covers....
But she is good to go now!!!
