I agree that is not the correct steering wheel, however it does have a very nice paint job! Also nice to see it’s definitely in good hands!

Looks very nice! 
  Did it include a mowing deck? I see the mule-drive up front

No deck but I have a 36" one if needed. Though the C-125 does mowing duty.

Those compact Euro-hitches are perfect for a front mount hitch addition!  :handgestures-thumbupright: As Don mentioned, that paint looks perfect!

@Stormin Okay I can’t sleep thinking this tractor has the incorrect decals! It looks so nice I believe it’s worthy of the correct decals? I hope you’ll agree!

Maybe a future change, Don.

Steering wheel in center so you can drive on either side of the road! :occasion-xmas:

 Just a little update. The throttle linkage on the carb needed a little attention. That's fixed. I drained the oil out of the trans. Not bad. Just a touch of milk. Does need a new drive belt. The one on is not the right type.

   Got round to paying the B80 some attention today. Been having a problem or two with engaging gears, (They wouldn't), after fitting the new drive belt that Squonk sent me.

   When the clutch pedal was pressed, the belt guide on the idler pulley was pushing the top of the belt down. This was causing a lot of head scratching. Were the right size pulleys fitted? Was the guide fitted to far forward?

  I eventually noticed quite a bit of thread protruding  from the trunnion on the adjusting rod. So I screwed the rod forward as far as I could and that solved the problem. Pedal better positioned, slightly forward off the vertical. It was slightly back from vertical before. The pedal also came to a stop and gears could be engaged nicely. Something so simple but easily missed.  :angry-banghead: 

  Next thing is a road test and see if it will climb the bank at the end of the green without the belt slipping. :handgestures-fingerscrossed: 

  Still some bits and bobs to do. Battery carrier has no clamp and the correct graphics to obtain. Maybe, as it is road legal fit some lights and a better seat to replace the old style metal one.

@Stormin  agree with others  on the very good pick up , from what you are saying  , its off, just a little bit . that clutch set up , has a number of areas to hang up , get some penetrating oil on the  clutch rod / linkage areas , make the rust run out , you might also need a stiffer spring  , or one of the idler pulleys could be  having a bearing issue . personally like to have another , help  at problem areas . so you can hopefully see / hear the  problem area .  we are with you on your quest , good luck , pete
