Craftsmen LT1000(2)

Removed the deck and took the engine off today.   Removed the pulley stack and left the belt guides in place.

Drained the oil and it has gas in it. Need to move the engine to the proper shop to open it up.

I want to measure the bore and if the problem is a seized rod the head has to come off anyway.

The deck is missing parts.  At least 1 tensioner pulley.  Need to get an image and compare it to the parts list. Maybe compare it to the YTS's deck.
