Well gentleman, I think this thread is coming to a close. My brother is in town for a few days, so last night he and I got to spend some time together and were able to get most of the little odds and ends finished up. Blades sharpened, deck mounted, oil changed, oil filter changed, new spark plugs, etc. This afternoon, I fired it up and mowed for a good couple hours. I have to say, I'm impressed by the Cyclops. Sharp steering, plenty of power, and looks good to boot. I took a quick video of the first start up today before the big mow, so as short as it is, y'all enjoy (btw, it's a cold start with no choke. I think the engine will hold up for a few good mows

)! I hope this thread was enjoyable for everyone to read as it was for me work on!
