Walk behind tractor

Finally, it is done.

(Mostly)

I finished up on the walk behind tractor today.

Yesterday I sandblasted the belt guard and painted it.

Sandblasting in progress.

Today I installed the new belts and belt guard.

Belts and guard installed.

Then I removed the flat tire, cleaned the rim and installed a new tube.

Filled both tires to 20 psi.

It sits better now.

Tires aired up.

Then it was time to re-install the engine.

The belt tension may need adjusting.

Will see when I test it.

Lastly, I installed the new throttle cable and the front belt cover..

It still has some carburetor issues and needs a new clutch handle but it is ready for testing.

Yes it could use some more paint but I am not worrying about that right now.

The main thing was to get it done before winter.

Now, if the engine will still run I will call it a success.

Gonna relax for the rest of the weekend.
