First trip out of the shop, thought I would snap a couple pice with the present BP beside it.
heres another shot of them. Now to finish up a couple things (deck) grill support mounts, battery location.
Ok I put my battery behind the steering column under the dash. Here you can see I use 1/4 tubing to keep it located and I will run a aluminum bar across the top it won't move at all when top bar is on.
Here you see the back of the battery is up against the lip on the sub frame. Just to the right you can see the flangenut that holds the clutch assy.
Here you go the battery with dash on will be pretty concealed when fuel tank is in place.
On MTD's without side panels to hold the grill they have two rods that attach to the dash. I weld a 1/4" thick flat bar to the dash support cage So it has something to bolt to besides the plastic dash
