Intended mods in the future:
NSS bypass or override
Voltmeter and GEN warning light
Big automotive battery all the way up front
Load the front tires
Put a fan back on the hydro cooler
Adjust carb for better bill climb power if possible
Delete choke lever or somehow make it harder to accidentally part choke it
Better high/low shifter that I can reach and can be abused for power shifting
Maybe a foot travel control so I can shift high/low while feathering travel control with my foot
Front tire cutting brakes
I guess there’s some bypass relief that can be tightened to push more through the motor and let the engine bog. A mower puller who was there used to pull with a 444 eventually broke the rear axle after much abuse.
Better hyd oil or cooler or resi. Was either cooked or aerated after some hard run time
Roll hoop
Bumpers
Lights
Fix hood hinges
Reasonable exhaust? Heat shield?
Big 20hp v-twin
