Re: my project 71
Good to see you're still on it and making progress. Don't all the transaxle mounts need to be the same type? I thought mixing them would cause premature failure?

The metal line that goes to the pump from the front of the engine ( front is front) generally wraps around the 3/4 side of the motor and travels to the pump near the intake. The ends have the rubber hose where it connects to pump/ line from tunnel.
