In taking my # 109 apart I took 1 or 2 photos every time I removed anything. Every bolt/screw is put in a zip-lock sandwich bag with a stickey note as to it's location. I don't trust my memory in any way as to having to put them back in the proper location.

I'm about a week away in putting it back together. Taking all the photo's & burning a cd I hope this will ease my pain while I review the photo's & playing them on a portable cd player in attempting this task.

I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET!

Nik,

Also once you get it back up, and running with the correct fluid ( I will not get into any hydro fluid battle here) but working a piece of equipment hat has been standing, fresh fluid getting it up to operating temp will also clean out the unit/rear a lot more than you will expect so. I would do everything i could to remove as much as I could without tearing up anything, or contaminating anything... then fill it up with fresh fluid and work her out good for 3 months or so, then get it good and hot 9operating temp) and drain, and fill again... you may need to do this several times, but this is best way in my opinion at cleaning out a hydro reay/pump unless it's just locked down, or hard crusty stuff.

thanks clint for the advice, i guess i should buy a few filters & 10 gal or so of fluid.
nikster- you are not too far from me, it would be interesting to see your cub redo in person. i too, need all the help i can get. winter is coming fast so i think the paint will have to wait till next year.
