Looks good! These are fun sleds, and can be very reliable. How many miles on the clock?

That looks like a nice original. Is that yet another side cover I haven't seen yet? Looks like the air exhaust is open by the engine shroud, but there's an angle over the clutch cover? Unless the image is deceiving. Seems like JD had several different side panels for these sleds, and it just depends what they put on at the factory.
Are you going to restore it, or just a mechanical restoration? Probably can just clean it up, and update whatever needs fixing.
jep
