    They said on their site that it was their biggest and most successful one ever. They must have sold a lot of tractors and weed whackers...LOL

    I spent half the weekend wiring up the chassis. The third brake light is wired in for the third and final time. I didn't like the NOS wires. They were cracking as I was unrolling them and just didn't feel safe using them. Then I wired them using the original (cardboard) insulators under the bulbs and just as I'm ready to put the cover on I noticed one of the terminals pulled through the cardboard. So I hunted around the house and came up with 4 fiberglass insulators and the holes are a lot smaller. So that's all done. I ran the wiring for the alternator, headlights, temp sender, oil pressure sender, trans temp sender, & a couple other things. I got all OCD with the wire ties. The tail lights are grounded and the tail light conduits are all fastened down and I'm happy with the way they look (I should after the 3rd time). I also ran the grounding strap from the tail of the transmission to the frame & also grounded the horn.
