That looks like fun. My wifes parents have a old Honda scooter that you pedal. I told them if they ever want to sell it I will buy it or hopefully a looooong time from now leave to me.MAJOR part in your favor is that the little Kubota top speed is maybe 10-12 mph where these old busses, even though the engine was screaming, were running 55-60 mph with low or NO oil in those reduction boxes. Saw a lot of carnage. Oh well...Job Security.
As said before, you are doing a very nice refurbish on that tractor. it is the kind of refurb that you go through everything, make sure it is all in good order, rebuild as necessary, re-paint and then USE IT. I am currently refurbishing my 1967 Triumph 200cc Tiger Cub motorcycle. Doing what you are doing job wise, repaint, rebuild the engine, powder coating the frame and doing some non stock modifications to make it more reliable. As long as you saw OIL leaking on the driveway, you knew it still has oil in it!
