Examine the wheels for instance.

Its as stock as I was able to restore it, since most of the parts have not been made in a hundred years. So I had to use what I could get that were as close to the original as possible. Those are mountain bike tires on hand cart wheels. The engine has a couple upgrades as well, a pull starter, an idler shaft disconnect, and the ignition for easier starting. This model was a push started engine. As you can imagine, it was a fun case of push starting it, then chasing it once it started! Now you pull the disconnect, then pull start it, then jump in and push the lever to go. Small common sense upgrades....
