Default New parts!!

Ever since I got the tractor back together, I haven't been able to get it to run right. Throttle was pretty touchy with little control past 2000 RPM. Thought something inside the motor broke, so I pulled the motor to find that to be false. Was able to fix my oil leak though. Reset my governor at least 4 times, still no avail. Finally figured out how to tune my carb - EUREKA!! Runs like a swiss watch now. Very,very pleased I must say.

Got some new parts too. A standard canister-style muffler w/elbow, a new mount for said muffler, a Kirk Engines-style breather and a new steering column bushing.

The plate for the breather looks like its purple 'cause it still has the red Dykem on it from when it was made. I'll paint it at a later date.

A gentleman at work (I work in a medical machine shop) was kind enough to cut me a custom bushing out of Radel plastic which is close to IH yellow in color. Fits my goofy sized column tube to perfection!

Currently working on a swinging-type grill mesh & a backrest with plans courtsey of Mr. ACecil.

New pictures too. Enjoy fellas.
