No Norm, just as it left the factory. It's not too bad really. I would rather just leave it alone until it gets worse, but throttle control requires very ginger movements. I'll put up with it.
I'm thinking of parting it out. It's a good mower but this model doesn't attract bids in Ebay (I have watched a couple), even though it's a good workhorse. Probably it's looks only a mother could love.
It has so many pristine body parts such as the hubcaps and bushes. The rear axle still has shiny new looking metal.
