It's ALIVE!!!

Its alive...runs good starts great even warm. Couple more bugs to work out but its somewhat mobile. Front brakes are sticking pretty bad gonna take drums off clean everything out and adjust them and it doesnt seem to wanna shift...i can get 1 to 2 manually but not 3rd. Might b vaccum issue i havnt even looked yet but pleased so far...got some more clean up but light at end of tunnel!!!






No vaccum advance i didnt get the right diameter hose and vaccum caps because i was in a hurry. Im debating even hooking it up seemed to have plenty of power to move snow.

Like everyone else said, looks good.
For the shift issue, yeah, check the modulator and the vacuum line going to it.
