Love is when your wife lets you park your tractor in the kitchen. Well, that's what happens when you marry an Iowa boy!

Assembly is a bit of a bear. You need three hands to keep everything together while manipulating the body half around the pedal crank. The rear axle is installed without the sprocket being welded. It must be welded to the rear axle after assembly. I also used bearing keeper on the rear axle as well.

I got a few scratches while assembling the two body halves. So I scuffed down the assembled body and shot a couple of more coats of green. Then I attached the steering wheel and tires.
