Thanks a lot for the replies guys. The filter has 30 hours on it based on the hours scribbled on it. But who knows?
As for the drive shaft removal how far do I need to slide the engine forward to get the shaft clear so I can take that other piece off the front of the pump?.what is that piece - some sort of bearing housing? Is there anything else in there worth changing other than the lip seal.
Would I need to remove this piece to get the seal out?
Is there anything else I should be careful of or do here when sliding the shaft out by loosening the engine mounts?
Like another poster said - I will leave this until spring probably because I am bound to screw things up and likely make it worse ..and that gives me plenty of time to fix it.
Is the steering really that bad .I would imagine with the blower lifted a small amount it would make it easier .!
Anyway thanks a lot for the replies
Looking forward to trying her out on some white stuff.
Thanks
