that's exactly what happened, was down to the minute before I had to leave for work and just wanted it off the ground on all 4 tires and didn't stop to make sure I had the direction right. I'll change it this evening when I get home.

Been ther done that....Ain't It a shame when work gets in the way of horses, I have been tempted a few times to call in sick and keep wrenching! Sounds like you do have the affiliction bad....being late for work and ahhh looks like you arn't putting it together in a shop.... more like the Mrs dining room...

Alright fellas this is as far as I got today. Just realized I got the rear wheels the wrong way. 

Could just drive it in reverse...

Man - Your "garage" is way nicer than mine!!!

ha ha , it's the sunroom off the back of the house that I just finished remodeling for my wife last week. Still need to put the trim around the floor. I got heavy duty cardboard down and the tractor is squeaky clean so my wife was ok with it. It will roll out of the sliding door onto the deck and into the garage. Believe me, I'll try to keep it in there as long as possible, it's awesome to click the light on and see it when I get home and when I wake up in the morning with a cup of coffee.

You might want to stop and buy some roses before continuing the build especially if you plan on finishing the build before the sun room.
Looking real good.

Maybe you could make a fork loader like the old AC tractors!  Or I guess just swap the tires.  Hey, at least the direction of the two match on the wheels

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Alright, couldn't sleep in. Had to get to work. Headed to ace hardware to get a round file to file the holes out on the deck handle and foot pedal so I don't scratch the crap out of the footrest rod on the frame. Got the wheels right too!

That is a calendar shot with that last picture.  Put a doily on the hood with a nice plant on it and keep it in there all winter.

Round hood for a coffee table....hmmmm

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

It does look good in there.

Tell her it's part of the remodel job...keep up the nice work!

good idea! 

[SylvanLakeWH 24,217]

Keep it there and if there's a power outage you've got your generator available right away - just pipe it out the window...

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Ok so I got the foot pedals, linkage, and steering wheel and shaft installed this morning.  I'll be doing paint touch up this afternoon. 

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

I think it fits in great in the room. 

[AMC RULES 36,945]

Any luck keeping the kids off of it?

yes. I sit right next to it and yell! Ha ha ha. I bought a thin black ridged welcome mat and trimmed it down and made a nice pad for the tool box. 

[DennisThornton 4,769]

Love the rear ags!  Or will that be a front wheel drive?  Or...?

Sorry, I just had to and I've done similar!

[953 nut 51,842]

Glad to see you are keeping it warm and toasty. Hope you aren't keeping the kids off it, we need to start the  addiction as early as possible.       

[DennisThornton 4,769]

Nice and getting nicer all the time!  

By the way!  I like the stove too!  What brand and model is it please?
