B&S Micromaster 618- partial tear down with questions

[Janderso]

I think that bevel business would invite grit to enter the way surfaces, and grinders generate lots of it, even with liberal coolant.

Hmm, you have a point John.
I am surprised at the lack of grit beyond the guards. Well designed for sure.
I am painstakingly cleaning the sheeting and removing the rubber seals and soft camper tape that seals the Flood coolant panels.
I found some shower pan rubber at Home Depot that should work great.

Some may be interested in the coolant panels and assembly?
I’ll move her back in place tomorrow. Boy am I beat. Too much standing, my back is barking, my hands are raw.
I cut myself at every turn. My skin is like rice paper.
