Yes, we are still here...

My last post was in January and it is now March.  A lot has happened, but nothing has yet been shared.  There should be a few catch-up posts this week or so.

Upcoming posts:
1) electrical progress
2) mower deck details

Over the last week, there was a slight design change.  After finalizing the deck detail, a few frame elements needed to change to make everything fit better.

The front cross member needs to move forward and since today was relatively nice out ( 40 and "sunny" ), it was easier to make a mess out in the driveway than in the garage rough cutting the aluminum stock on the saw.

Frame as it was originally

Fabbing the mounts ( note that with the DRO there are no setup lines on the parts and it is *way* easier and faster to make stuff like this ).

New frame mounts with crossmember moved forward to clear the deck.

Still need to trim the axles a bit shorter as well, but that's all for today.
