Just finished tonight. All chains and links adjusted, all spindles and links greased, oil in the gear box overfilled to get the crud at the bottom out. Made a couple passes and the cut is great. It feels a bit big/heavy for the tractor but it does the job.

Power steering makes it a breeze, half turn goes to lock on either side. Cut some real rough stuff and the engine didn't bog at all. Have to get the steering down so it swings properly without mowing anything I didn't want to mow.

I just finished adding power steering to the tractor. I used a JD318 power steering block, and the steering shaft doesn't fit my wheel, so I have to cut it off and weld my old splined shaft onto it. Steering is effortless though, half a turn takes the wheel to lock in either direction.
