Well today I got the fluids in. 3 1/2 quarts of Hy-Tran and 1 1/2 quarts of Kohler 30W, No leaks.
Let the haters start... I'm using the dry element air filter for now because the oil bath won't work with this carb. Specifically the choke. So for now I'm going this route.
Checked to make sure I had a good ground from the front to the back. Rear light works, as well as the front plugs. Also tried turning the tractor over and that worked well, even had spark at the plug
So all that's left is to add fuel, and we should be good to go
