Well I went down and came back with the 990 this morning. Everything looks to be in pretty good shape. It has not been started in a few years, so that will be my first task.
The blades on the deck were frozen when I got to the guys house. With a little liquid wrench and a bunch of wiggling, we finally got them free, although it sounds liek some new bearins will be in order. THe deck was the only thing kept outside. The rest of it is solid with no holes.
I tried jumping it (from my car), and the starter/generator does turn it over although very slowly. Not quite sure if the starter is weak. I tried taking the plug out and it did spin faster. Last time I tried it, I reconnected the hot cable and got a little spark. Now the key does not seem to work. Did I fry it?
There was a bunch of dust and grime, but after using a wet rag, it seems to be cleaning off pretty good (I took pictures of both for comparison).
Now for the pictures. I have taken lots of them so you guys can lend as much help as you can stand.
