If anyone can see from these pictures anything major wrong with the undercarriage please point it out. I'm at a crossroads at this point. I know this machine needs quite a bit of work. And I don't necessarily have a lot of use for it. I'm thinking it may be best to put it up for sale rather then try...

Well I was able to bring her home today :lol: In our first real snow of the year, towed home 70 miles on back roads, without incident. Cleaned the points and cap/rotor. Threw a battery into it and a quick shot of either she was running. Electrical system is a mess. Definitely a 12v starter as the 6v...
