Ok so I have been slacking... Sorry about that.

As of today this is what the mower needs:
Remove cutting deck
Oil change and tune up
New Batt- I will get that info I swear!
Tires seem to be ok for a race. Will need to see once she is running

Fab work:
Leg bars added.
Lights added to push bar- I have some big ol KC's we can use
Weld the rear
Mount for a GoPro

Paint

There isnt a big list but there are things that I cant do and will need help with. I dont know how to weld and suck at wires.
I also need someone to drink my beer and go get wings/ burgers/ beers with... Just saying...

Some wants: UTV tires. If I can find a cheap set and can find the $ I will see about getting some.

Working on the mower. Took the battery out to charge it. Too far gone... Put gas in it looking for leaks. Found it... Tank has a crack near the base fould be able to fix it with some JB weld.
Im going to let is leak down and dry out. then try and patch it.

This weekend I will be doing an oil change and working on paint.
I need to see if anyone is free between this weekend and Feb 2nd that can weld up some pipe. We need to add some leg guards and a stinger to the mower. Also… I need to get some pipe and bend it up.
Thinking that we should do a small pipe to match the size of the mower. Thoughts?
