So far everything is working out. Need to make a throttle linkage to the carb, connect the fuel line and the engine will be hooked up to the electrical and fuel. Next is to find a battery that works with a battery holder that secures the battery by bolt at the bottom. I going to keep the battery in it original spot, and extend it out towards the wheel a couple of inches to get it away from the exhaust manifold. That will require cutting the splash shield and doing a little welding to form a pocket, however, there will be plenty of room for that. Once that's done, I try starting the engine and run it a few seconds. Then it's install the radiator and build custom exhaust. The exhaust for the PTO side may take a little creativity to avoid the shaft so I'll find that out what I'm able to do once I get to that point. So far, I'm very pleased with everything.
