Although the Lawn Tractor doesn't look pre 1898, the rest looks good! 

Smoke and flame pix soon?

Oh yeah, that'll do!  Nice build- kind of minimalistic- just the pieces you need to make it work. Really like the towing arrangement that will look great with a limber. One suggestion though, you may want to find somewhere else for the ammo box if that's where you store you charges.

What is the bore size ? What was the charge in the pictures ? If you 'aim it in the right' direction
I bet it will set off car alarms for your nieghbors  ;D
