Yeah, if it was not for the 60 or so folks here who insist on having supported computers and networks, i'd be home digging into these boxes..... Can't wait to see the machine face to face.

here is the main shaft and pitman shaft before and after. Typical neglect...

But with the wire brush and the brasso pictured, they became this in 2 minutes.

I limited myself to working on the base and wood last night. My new Lawyer DD is living with me until she enters the Army as a JAG officer in June, so I want to wrap things early.
However here are some pics of the head as is.
This tension is really different from the ones I have seen before on Weed machines.

Other than check, the store said they can't do anything about it. They said the sender has to look into it. I bet if they do check into it they get told it was delivered. LIARS. I think as long as I live I won't ship anything UPS.
