| Got the new bushings in today, steering is a lot tighter now. Way nice. Found a radiator hose that fits over the carb perfectly. Think I'll put an air filter over the other end of it and use it. ![MTD - "Budgie" - Page 10 20181111](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20181111.jpg) | |

| Cleaned up the hose and clamped it down. Found the air box I have will fit snugly over the end, put two screws in the hose so the air box won't walk off. Love it when things work out like this. ![MTD - "Budgie" - Page 10 20181112](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20181112.jpg) | |

I'm just noticing this. Is there a reason why the spark plug wire is so long? | |

| Had a big ice storm the other day, dead tree in the back yard dropped some branches. Dragged them up to the house with Budgie. ![MTD - "Budgie" - Page 10 20181113](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20181113.jpg) Got a few sticks with the barrel sled too. ![MTD - "Budgie" - Page 10 20181114](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20181114.jpg) Intake worked fine. I noticed that while she wasn't lacking power (in lower gears) the tires were trying to spin. I might put my wheel weights on, they should be able to be put in the inside of the wheels so they're out of the way too, so that's pretty convenient. | |

| The one from mutt would be way too big for this one lol. Mutt's has proven useful enough, I think it'll stay. I just want a bit of storage on this thing.
Oh, and a hitch plate like on mutt is really in order. Its nice to have something above stock height for skidding logs | |

| In keeping with your budgie theme maybe you can find a 50 cal ammo can or two at a sale and bolt them on the relatively flat fenders. Some kind of tow point up high sounds good too. Maybe an old hook welded to some kind of steel. | |

| If I did something like that I'd have to support the fenders lol. They're pretty weak and have a tendency to bend down if I put a lot of weight on them | |
