    I seem to have picked up its twin last summer complete with the broken exhaust outlet. The powerhead is locked up tight and the driveshaft is rusted into the crank so I can’t get the powerhead off. I was going to junk it but seeing your project I may take another look at it. Good luck with yours.

    ouch! man I have seen that a couple times too. I was lucky and found gently tapping on the lower with a rubber mallet was enough to free it up. penetrating oil is hard to introduce into that equation, but it will help if you can get any to the spot.
