1/17/2010 I have just got the mower moving under its own power with the gel cells and
test drove it. It runs great!
9/30/10 Just re-painted in original yellow. Plan to convert to belt drive because chain
refuses to stay on. Will post new pictures soon.
12/22/10 Discovered problem with chain drive is that chain has not been used enough
for all links to move correctly. I will drop rear end and soak chain in oil when it warms
up. Mower is currently being stored on blocks, tarped beneath overhang/mini carport
attached to our shed. Still have not had a chance to take new pictures.
