In Part 1 we will be building The Grasshopper II 2017 Transmission and change the bearings of The Grasshopper 2005. An excellent opportunity for a closer look at the similarities and differences between The Grasshopper II's and The Grasshopper's gear box and rear axle.

This build covers the Parts Bag A and the Step 1-5 of the assembly kit manual. Well, to be more precise we're hoppin' over Step 1 ('charging the battery') and focusing on the actual build:
