When I took the big ugly seat off I found this, think I will try to keep it in the restoration.

Yes they are, the are 23x8.50x12 Goodyear's :D Worked on the project for about 12 hours yesterday didn't take very many pics. Here are a few though.


Found some rather rusty sheet metal while cleaning up the engine(removing the mouse motel...)C The oil pan was also pitted badly.


Was able to find some good sheet metal and a good oil pan from a parts engine.


Here is the Briggs 23D cleaned up and waiting for a new coil and paint.


The original grill after a little straitening and patching. More later
