Newly modified bucket before filing and cleanup:
John Deere tractor starter grommet:
Bucket reassembled:
The way it looks now, pretty good:
Heading out to trouble shoot it briefly as it is now blowing the fuse for some unknown reason. I had to do the walk of shame pushing it back to the shop twice last evening. It has been taken apart again and run in the shop after careful inspection revealed no reason for the fuse to blow.
Ran it for 10 minutes headlight on in the shop revved motor, moved handlebars from lock to lock, all works as advertised. The glass fuse and plastic fuse box is getting replaced with a more modern push in fuse holder and fuse, then another test ride, Y'All wish me luck.
