Know what you mean about the rust-out around the reinforcement plate. Long story short, I've got one that goes under a 782, with a replacement deck shell. Sat outside forever. The pulleys have rusted to the point they are flaking horribly, idler is froze and the idler pulley is froze, plus the center bearing is out. If needed, I can transfer movng parts over to the deck I have. Problem is, one friend has the burnt up 1810, another friend has the 782 project tractor, and I'm donating all the labor and want to treat everyone fairly.
