I didn't see any powder from an extinguisher, but you never know! I never thought about engine orientation but yeah, the fly wheel is on the other side on the Kubotas.The blower has melted all the plastic, i removed the fan with a bit of effort. The housing still looks ok for the gearbox but the bearings do need replacing. I think i can get it back to life again. I just need a new fan and housing. The idler has been melted but i can make one of these easy enough.The hydrostats did worry me when i inspected it, the levers would not budge, this turned out to be a big blow of plastic that was on the pump causing it to be stuck in centre, so it would not move either way.Its a dirty dirty job! not something anyone really wants to do. With a bit of luck the machine will turn out pretty well in the end. *crosses fingers*</blockquote>
