Does anyone have a picture of how the lift rod is attached to the leveler assembly that is the style with the 2 slotted holes in series, instead of the style with a slotted hole and a round hole?

Not much of an update, I have the tensioner pulley spring done.  I am waiting on parts to come in the Post.

Had parts show up in the post today. The pulleys I already had, but decided to paint them.

Gauge wheel bolts/nuts, height adjustment lever spring, the bushings for the idler pulley tensioner bar and the rubber bumpers.  The rubber bumpers I already have look better than the PartsTree so called N.O.S. so I may try to sell them.  The complete spindle assembly with blade. This came with an undersized pulley so it may be for sale as well.  It is 3-1/4"s in diameter.

Bolted on the gauge wheels, manual I have does not indicate that it requires washers but I added a couple anyways.  It was just a bit too sloppy without them.

Gave the deck 2 coats of primer and a couple coats of color, but had some serious runs.  After sanding them out I primered the bare metal areas and when I went to check if it was dry, I noticed it had cracked in the direct sun.  So sanded out the cracks and reprinted. Finally I was able to shoot a couple coats of Red.  Turned out near flawless except one or two areas that had minor runs.  So I waited till the paint had a bit of a chance to flash dry prior to taking it in the garage for the reminder of drying.  A bug happened to try and get a "closer" look.  I just left it in thinking I would have a go at removing it once the paint dried. Came back to find it was not only gone but, I had to do a bit of looking before I found where it was.

Thanks, I have talked with Terry and he doesn't have a copy of this decal.  He is willing to make them, but only if he has a picture or a decal to go off of.

Likely another member could get a decent snap shot of that.
