Now I just need to build a bumper and some skidplates for the transaxle. I bumped it earlier driving over a rock. Scared me a bit.

Well it didnt turn out as smoothly as I thought.
Literally as soon as I fell off I thought "poopie, I gotta take a pic of this."
I got it flipped over. No damage other than I lost a pin for the tie rod and my air filter is full of gas. Well, everything has gas on it really.
I found a soda can and took the tab off from it and improvised a pin so I could drive it back without the tie rod popping off. Other than a bit of white smoke and some rubbed/ scratched paint, shes all good.
Oh, and im fine. Just a scratch when a sapling whipped me.

I need a new exhaust though, So much white smoke since the oil sits in the muffler.
