T-roy me thinks the tether is not the original but looks great. When are you going to install the belly pan? Make sure you put the steering rods in before putting the belly pan on. You'll save yourself some grief. Man your driven looks nice, mine looks like crap. Guess I"ll chrome it........DA
What did you use to clean the wiring harness?

Kenny, the brake rotor cleaned up very nice. The best part is that is straight and true! Thanks!
Don, I used a cleaner called Purple Power on the harness. It did a decent job. My next challenge will be the tie rods. I think Brian has them all figured out for replacement tie rod ends.

The original tether pin had a rubber cover over top of the red plastic ( I think ).
BTW,
It appears you have your cup washer on the wrond side of the bearing.
It should be between the bearing and secondary sheave.

Having never owned a 340S I am very envious of all you guys. If anyone has a spare let me know.
I am curious did Deere use a 100 MPH on any of the race model?
Looks fantastic Troy!

Thanks for the compliments guys.
We're all striving to meet the bar that the staff at Horicon set years ago!
Lindner, I've looked this thing over from top to bottom and looked at the book until I'm confused. Are you messing with me?
Since Frankie has launched you into celeberty status are the stars blinding you or what?
