LT230 Project

Hard to tell on some of those parts. Do you have access to a parts cleaner?
If you aren't into re welding the side cover, I would try the JB or something along that line first. A lot of machines out there fixed that way and running fine. I just figured since it was apart it made sense to weld it for a stronger fix. Does the crack go through to the outside surface?

I don't believe the crack does, there is a bunch of gasket sealer on that area over the outside so MAYBE. I'll take a look and post a picture.

So I decided to take the cheap-o way and use some Loctite quick set epoxy. I hope epoxy dose not decompose in engine oil once the pan is filled.


This is what the outside looks like, the previous jackhole did a nice and messy job with what appears to be some JBweld so I am not going to touch it but the inside is good so that's all that matters as long as it does not break down in oil.

Also I ordered some stuff online today, new spark plug, k&n oil filter, complete carb rebuild kit, 6 friction plates, and 5 new clutch disks.

So I finally got around to doing it, there's no going back now but I'm happy with it, still needs some fine sanding and bondo, fresh coat of paint. But it looks much more mean for an lt230s grille.

That's a neat grille, you got a lt250 axle in yours??
All the parts came in today:

Decided to take a look into the air system and boy am I glad I did before I tried kicking it over!
