It was for the gasket for the oil filter cover, red/orange on one side. I tried to reuse the old one. Lesson learned.

It is official the 1811 is in service! It was ugly but it did a little work today. She is still topless and the seat is far less than ideal but I am still going to call it a success. I have a governor issue yet to solve but I think if I just mess with the spring a bit it should be ok. I bought the agri-fab scraper box for $60 at the local Sears a few years ago but used it for the first time today. The scarifier bar is bowed but probably can be straightened with out much aggravation.

Hey Dave,
It was only work in the loosest of terms! I did have a big grin on my face for the few minutes I had her out. I think I got her back in the shed before anyone could get worked up about indecent exposure. Although I am sure I have broken a few law of the correct police!
