While there is lots of flooding in TX, we are on high ground in the hills west of the city. We have some standing water on the property, but that is all. Thanks for the concern
Allen,
Assuming I go with a full polish, I will probably use a kit from Dennis "Ddub" and use his instructions. I will be happy to share the method and results with everyone. This 84 is SN: 285,141. Sorry to have missed you at the show, but I hope you had a good time.
As for the 84, I also found a few more NOS parts for it while in St. Germain, including a PTO gearcase cover, coolant overflow bottle and an air box hose.
