Thanks to everyone for all the advice about parts and technical tips. When
I first read the Wonder bread suggestion I really thought you guys were just
having some fun with the new guy, but I see how that could work. I'm
looking forward to trying it.
I'm going to order my list of parts today or tomorrow. I'd love to get on
the schedule for another meeting ASAP so I can get some help re-installing
the power train. What goes on in the winter months in that regard? Is
there a break from working outside because of the weather? I guess we can
discuss it on the 11th at Bryan's. Thanks.

I have done the bread route...very easy and no mess. Not sure if anybody
mentioned soaking the pilot bushing in oil overnight (at least) ahead of
installation, but it is recommended as well.

I have heard of, but not tried, using Wonder Bread or similar instead
of grease works well and is much less messy. If you have a dog then
clean up consists of "Look, yummy scraps on the floor!" :-)
