mrc 852 #1 Posted September 20, 2019 hi men, i ventilated the belt guard AND the support bracket to hopefully avoid the dreaded valve seat issue. i had the belt guard sandblasted and powder coated. please note the 8 inch deck gauge wheels. i can cut very high. thanks again to my buddy phil for the pics. mike in mass. t 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrc 852 #5 Posted September 26, 2019 spinjim, first i used double ended, short, .125 drills for the pilot holes. then a step drill to enlarge the holes. finished off with a flap wheel on an angle grinder and hand file. mike in mass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
