Thanks for the words of encouragement! What I was mainly alluding to was my fear that the very gray fluid that slipped out when I first drained the cavity is foreshadowing gears in a very rough condition. In order to find that out, I have to do a bit more surgery than I’d prefer to do the seals on the top of the unit.

The saving grace is that if I pull it apart and find that the gears are in bad shape, at least I can rebuild it and be confident in the motor for next season.

Only time will tell at this point... I’ll probably end up posting pictures
