Mrs. Rich spent a few hours on the WH today, getting familiarized with mowering activities. The WH seemed very friendly to a beginner rider, and the clutch was plenty smooth. The governed oppy makes it easy to not worry about throttle and just focus on your clutching fundamentals.

Per rules, your tractor is technically complete. Would you like to say that, but continue building your tractor? You have posted plenty of video's of it working.
I know it’s complete, I just need to get around to making a video of it to show it. I do have much more work planned, so there will likely be another completion video when voting comes around.
That valve stem is still in the tire somewhere, it’s holding air at least!
Got a running board from @Creepycrawler back at GER, finally got around to putting it on. Also mounted up a medium-high back seat that I got at the scrapyard yesterday for $10. I’m usually a low back guy but I’ll give this high back a go.
Little detail that can make a big difference. If you’ve ever had a throttle cable get sticky with grit you’ll understand why a rubber boot might be a good idea for a throttle cable.
Josh Rowe was having some carb problems on his tractor this weekend so he rode the 414 in spaas creek. His wife Jessica was even on it for a bit. Tractor did fine but seeing him on it made me realize how high it sits in the front. Looks like I’ll have to drop it down soon.
Dropped the front end an inch. Had to grind one of the top corners of the axle a bit to get it to clear inside or the mount. Seems to sit better. Need to reset my bump stops now I guess.
Took her out today for the first time with the front end lowered. Feels a lot better in the steep stuff. These tires are kinda flat and boy do they hug some rocks. Need to get some bead locks done so I can more safely run them this way.
