getting ready to mount baby j-d to its frame

Looks like it maybe a little top heavy, and tip over with those casters.

You would be better off putting it on a larger steel frame with steel wheels, that one will bounce and tip over.

true, but have to do with what i have, skid isn't as small as it looks, after it's done and it acts like wants to tip, then i'll find some wheels

I'm not a one-lunger guy so my question might be a dumb one. Is the flywheel on the mag side on backwards?

It looks correct, but I'm not sure what you are seeing that makes you think that, unless you are think that there is a groove for a cranking handle on the inside of that flywheel. Twin flywheel engines did not have usually have a cranking handle, like on an IH LA or LB. They were started by using both hands to spin both flywheels while standing behind the engine.

To me it looked like a cranking handle on the far-side flywheel.
