The battery hold down is close to the terminals but does have clearance. There's a piece of cardboard in there too.
I was very surprised the screws in the foot rests came right out with a big screwdriver. Found the previous owners name and address scratched in the foot rest support.
Took the seat pan off to looks at the trunnion. Yes it needed repaired. So I cut a small strip of steel and MIG welded it in place. While off I pressure washed the hydro of accumulated grease and grime.
The shifter lever was very loose, So I made a crows foot tool and was able to sneak in and tighten the nut on the hydro lever. That was not easy but tightened the lever up a lot.
With the trunnion repaired and the lever tightened it seemed to do a good job holding in neutral.
Changed the oil. Removed and cleaned the deck, sharpened the blades. The baffle was toast so I removed what was left.
Tractor mows good, and had 14 volts at the battery when running. Repaired some wire ends, and general clean up.
Hope things are good out there. Will post some pictures if I get a chance.

Regards,
Chris
