Help needed with sb 318

Quick update.......first cutting season now completed. Engine did well. Eventually made the same run down the road to deliver bales as shown on the video.....on return trip, she was running well so left it in 3rd to see if she would pull a steep hill. She did with ease, so I worked up the nerve to try 4th gear......which is way faster than the other 3 low speeds. She handled that too and once up to speed, would walk the dog. Didn't have the windshield on, but was close to losing a hat without it. Potentially a big deal, as that means delivery area just went from line of sight to several miles.

Only significant change made from before was the condenser......plus some use. Still needs all the rest checked and a full blown tuneup. But very much workable as is.

Thanks again to all that offered advice!
