I wire wheel the rusty bolts so they are clean but still have there brown luster, I use as many original bolts as well, ill be doing some touch ups cause I have some scratches here and there, I wait till its all together then paint the bolts on the tractor cause if you do it first they just end up flaking and getting scratched wjere the socket touches them and you have to repaint then anyway . the thing on the back of the S/G is a amp meter that someone rigged up, probably the old ladies husband and it works great looks pretty old I guess its better then putting a hole in the dash and I like it there cause your always looking that way when mowing or at least I do. to my last post I did adjust the clutch and it is so much nicer to drive now, only thing I don't like is my wallet digs into my leg when sitting on the seat im not really that fat lol must be the small seat.
