Thanks, gentlemen.
Herb, yes, the flat strap throttle lever was still original equipment on the
Super Ms. This tractor even had a really nice one on it when I bought the
tractor... but I like the M&W friction levers, and had one on hand so I
swapped it on there.
Paul, holding the camera was a problem... I had it in my right hand, and had
to reach across with my left hand to work the throttle. Not very
comfortable, and if I do something like that again I'll figure out how to
mount the camera on the tractor so I don't have to mess with it.
One thing I noticed is that this tractor has a heck of a high-speed fifth
gear in it. I didn't do any scientific tests but just from feel I'd say
it'd leave my previous M and Super M in the dust. My street is too bumpy
for me to feel safe running it up like that, but one of the nearby streets
was just newly paved and I gave it some throttle. Had to be doing 20+,
maybe 25.
