I wonder what the larger control panel cover came off of?

More progress on the 325.
Changed the water separator. The old one was a carquest brand, which was interesting.
Replaced it with a R&R filter which I believe is Baldwin. Quality seemed good to me.
Got the PTO shimmed all the way forward as much as I could. Checked the pulley alignment with a straight edge from the face of the engine pulley, to the face of the PTO pulley. It痴 better than it was before, but could still stand to come forward another 1/16? but this will have to do.
Pulled the fork off because 1: It was sloppy a little bit and I wanted to replace the bushings. 2: It was installed upside down at some point in its past, so that obviously needed to be corrected.
Pulled the drive shaft so I could replace the PTO belt. Will have to go through the drive shaft alignment procedure when I get the engine mount back on.
The old belt was starting to get shredded, most probably from the pulley misalignment, and lack of positive engagement caused by the worn parts.
