Is the starting problem worked out?
Yes, at least temporarily. Disengage the PTO clutch to start, then engage. I have a lever that I've used for that.

Next steps:

Build the front axle assembly--basically the front foot of a WF frame with axle. Install hubs and set up for running 23 inch tires.

Scale out and start on the main frame--from the dash out to the front wheels. Mostly a 4x6 rectangular tube, 3/16 wall, with a few "bends" which will be more like miters. Main frame length about 6 feet. Grader overall length, 12 feet.

Install power steering.

Build seat mount and install seat.

At that point I'll have a basic vehicle. Blade circle, blade mount and hydraulics follow...lots to do.
