Seat just back from reupholstering, 
looks better than new.

Engine beginning to be disassembled, left side 
upside down, clutch basket lower 
left, Motoplat flywheel on right.

Bottom of engine, inspection cover removed. Front
is to the left, two cylinder drain plugs removed.

Engine right side, upside down. Flywheel, 
clutch rod, shifter.

He is a sign of problems. The engine primary drive 
chains are at top, and the transmission gears and 
shift dogs are at the bottom. That in itself is
not a problem. The problem is....

....the condition of those three transmission gears. 
The gears show rust and corrosion, will need to 
be replaced. The 3 affected gears are rusted 
on the top half, the part that would have been 
sitting above the transmission oil level, and 
exposed to moisture and condensation.

I don't think cleaning and polishing the gears 
is even an option. The surfaces are shot, and 
would wear out the other gears if not replaced 
with new ones. Good chance to check the main
bearings anyway, they should be replaced
as long as the cases are opened up.
