I'm gonna do What I'm Gonna do to Ride At Windber

[pomfish]

To Quote the the late , great, Jimmy Hoffa "I'm Gonna Do what I Gotta Do"

In this case, I'm gonna rape a Cat 4003 of its fine running HS40 for my CCS Chopper, as the the HS50 that I had planned to run is burning a great amount of oil and is not pulling well. It idles well, just does not pull.

Anyway, the Cat has a willing HS40 with a Dog Vomit Hilliard Clutch that has been bothering me since the day bought the bike.
So this way I will free the motor from the clutch and power the chopper temporarily until after the show, then I can rebuild the tired HS50.

I have a NOS HS40 in stock, but it does not have the crank drilled and I do not believe I can get that done before Wed. which is when I need to load the van.

The hilliard will then be used as target practice.
Later,
Keith

Strike 2 !

The Cat engine ran fine 4 months ago before I put it on a shelf, Now it won't start, has weak spark. Effing Points I imagine.
And this after I installed a new side cover gasket due to a slow leak.
Anyway, no time to tear that down now, tomorrow a NOS HS40 is going in.
Tired as heck, going to bed early. Tomorrow it's go get last minute items,food, etc. Pack bags.

Later,

Gerry, I need to make one of those engine plates of yours that plugs into the Hitch Receiver, I threw my shoulder out by pulling at bad angle while engine was mounted on a board on my workbench.

I get a lot of use out of that stupid thing.....you could make one a lot nicer than mine if you took a little time..put some angle under it for better support....mine is just a 1/8" plate held on with one big bolt...:laugh:

NOS HS40...I LOVE it!!!!!!
