On to the arm rests.

 

I cut some pads out of 2mm silicone I keep around to keep the powdercoat from rubbing together, etc.

 

Also added some rubber fender washers to go under the arm rest vinyl to cut down an abrasion as well.

 

Because I made the new arm rests out of oak, I was able to apply red loctite and really torque them down.

In my opinion, this is how the armrest hardware should have been done originally anyway:

Anyway, the seat is done.

 

Toro dealer called this AM and said the seat rubber baby buggy bumpers have arrived.  We’ll see if they’re even close to the right part.

If the rubber baby buggy bumpers aren't quite the right shape just get you a rubber baby buggy bumper meltification molderizer.

Well I have one of those on order too (I’m trading my rubilator for it)  just in case these ones don’t work.

Is it a tad bit loud with that little pepper pot muffler?

A tad.   Not terrible though.

I have an idea for an exhaust, but that will come later when I find the magic piece.
