Scott,
I've just completed a total rebuild of the engine in my 77B, including
new
motor and transmission mounts. There is virtually no engine motion whatsoever.
I think you'll find that the engine steady is unnecessary when you get the new
mounts in place.
I've forgotten your location, but Sears' 9/16" GearWrench fits beautifully
into that narrow confine.
