Looks in great shape. Curious about the decal on the cart being upside down.

Funny... Is it bad that I didn't notice that?

Not really, as there was plenty other things to see other than that. I took a pic of a modification or two I added to my cart.
One was adding blocks of wood in behind the rear of the cart as it is pretty rough on the bark of trees if that lip catches a good bite.
The other is replacing the attaching bracket with a solid piece of flat steel bent to fit, and then just two pins dropped through to hold it. Beats fighting with the hook and slider arrangement Deere has (which is ok when it works, but if one slips off then the bracket gets bent out of shape and the fun begins. Your experience may differ.

Looks great, but am trying to figure out what the arrangement is over the forward control pedal. Looks very awkward for moving from forward to reverse pedals. Any idea, and how do you like it?

Those headlights look like they could use a good cleaning. Easy to do and makes a big difference.
I too am curious about the forward pedal setup you have. Could we get a better picture of that?

I'll have to get a close-up picture of the pedal. I purchased from the second owner. They said the first owner didn't like the stock pedal. He put this aluminum pedal over the top. It is henged at the floorboard. It is not real pretty. But I like it in operation. Much more automobile-like and makes it harder to confuse the pedals.
I'll probably take it off at some point and see how I like that.
