The dash tower is mounted. I cut the top edge off to make it flat then formed a 3" X 24" thin aluminum sheet to fit. Gives a metal surface for the hood to rub on. Happy with the way it turned out.
Mounted the dash components, regulator and 10 amp circuit breaker. Ready for wiring.
I bolted the throttle lever through the dash plate instead of behind it.
Wiring is complete. The key switch is a bit touchy, may have to get another.
Fuel filter inline had to be replaced as it clogged. Charging is working great and the engine governor works fine.
Looked at buying decals but $125 is a bit much.
Added up the costs. About $440 including buying the tractor. Sand blasting at $100 and tubes and tire mounting at $75 were the top costs.
First work for the 79' mowing the field. The steering is hard. I think a spindle is causing it. Movement in reverse is slow. Hoping it is an adjustment.
Motor runs strong.
