Looks sharp with the engine on there Lenn
Fingers crossed your new sprocket will solve the issue, and we get to see it chewing itīs way through your lawn.

I did make a top for the front and a tool box.

I can see a lot of work went into that Lenn, not only can you clip the grass but you can roll the yard flat as well 😉👍

it seems to have plenty of power, and has no trouble pulling you 😊

Plenty of power with the 6.5 HP engine, could of went with a three horse.
Even with the 60 tooth sprocket it still could be geared lower.
I`m going to make a adjustable throttle stop for it so it can`t run away.
