Dad came out again yesterday and helped out with the last parts of the reassembly. I was glad to have the help especially getting the front end attached - it was a heavy beast. After a couple tries we got that attached and then worked on installing the radiator which turned out to be a bigger challenge. It wasn't so much the radiator itself but the fan shroud was the problem. A few tries and a few more choice words and it finally came together.

After everything was installed we hooked up the battery and tried to fire it up. First try didn't go well. Cleaned up some connections and she fired up. The field is still pretty wet so today I took it out for a spin down the road. Still needs a bit of fine tuning but all in all not too bad.
