I started cleaning the motor this past week. Under the many years of accumulated grime I found an old repair. It looks to be a good solid welding job.

I've been wondering why the motor had been disassembled at some point in the past. When they reassembled it they reused all the gaskets and lots of red rtv. I have a new gasket set on it's way.

While cleaning it I kept hearing something rattling around inside as I rolled it over.   When I took off the clutch cover I found that the clutch ball retainer had been damaged. I have that on its way as well.
