I made a list of things to accomplish on the belt guard.  One major issue is the air filter.  There is about 7/8” between the carb top and the hood.  I have an idea.

My thought on a airbox would be make a fairly large square box that is only 3/4-7/8" thick. With a hole in the center for the air intake. And then attach a external air filter to that how ever that would have to work with space. 

But it will be interesting to see what you come up with.

Surprisingly, a PTO clutch plate perfectly bolts to the top of the carb.  I found an air filter that will fit down over the carb.  So, a little cutting and welding magicery should allow it all to work in conjunction with each other.

Looks good Kevin, can’t wait to see it!  I did hear the engine run before I bought it, the gentleman I got it from started it on the floor of his shop.  But that has been several years ago.

Great news!  It’s got enough compression to break my wrist!
