Default The maiden voyage!

This morning i cut the cloth wiring out except what i needed to crank and run the motor. I set the idle speed and mixture. I wanted to make sure the hydro worked befor changing the fluid and filter. I had forward but no reverse. Then i noticed one relief button was still down. While motor was running i grabbed the button with plieers, gave it a twist and it popper right up. Now reverse works so i changed the fluid and filter. I adjusted the hydro nuetral position and broke all the blades off my perfect fan, rats!

Then i took her for a spin. The speed is real jumpy, so I'll look at the trunion springs for slop. My goal was drive it into my shed, out of the weather, so mission accomplished!

I still need to wire the regulator and lights, and weld the cracked steering mount. Then i can put her to work.

I got my tail lights. Price was right but i wish they were bigger.
