We want to make sure all of that nasty sludge is gone

We want to make sure all of that nasty sludge is gone. And we're gonna remove this gasket because I don't know how old it is and I don't trust it. Of course, these gaskets never come out easy. So we're gonna need something a little more intimidating. Of course, we'll need to be careful. Definitely don't want any big scratches in that surface. We want to stay focused and precise, like a surgeon. Just back from an underground massage that's been draining eight balls for breakfast. Uh, never mind. That doesn't sound like a very good doctor. Anyway, we want to make sure all of the gasket is removed. Now we're gonna give it a light sanding. Just to make sure it's extra clean, which some people might freak out about. Try and take a deep breath. This is not a cylinder. So smooth. All right, I think we're done here. But remember, we need to do the same thing for the cover. Moving on, we're gonna have to clean that sediment screen, which is absolutely clogged with the gookiest of gooks. And voila. Now it is fully clean. I basically just sprayed it with an entire can to be exact. Ah, almost forgot something. We need to open the drain plug underneath the PTO drain pan, nervously holding position. There should be much less in there this time, so it should be fine. 20 millimeter wrench, proceeding with caution. Ah, that wasn't on there tight at all. I wonder how bad this is gonna be. And bang, the juices loose. Well, I'm definitely not surprised it's just as bad as all the rest. But take a look at this drain plug. It's absolutely packed with sludge and should I be playing with it? Probably not. I can only imagine what the inside of that reservoir looks like. All right, once everything's drained, we're ready to put everything back together. Ah, I almost forgot something. I should probably get cleaned up. Oh, yeah, that smells awful.
