Stop in for a cup of coffee
Done with mower...for today. Welded a patch on. Wire brushed/sanded entire inside and sprayed with Rust Reformer. Used Black Jack Neoprene caulk inside to level out new patched area and a few old pitted areas so they don't hold crud. Also found one more hole while wire wheeling. Was not ambitious enough to weld anymore, so it got caulked. LOL. Will let all that dry overnight and hit the whole thing with gloss black tomorrow.
