Good morning everyone,
I came across a deal on an older MTD snowblower with a 5 hp Tech and a lighting coil that I just couldn't pass up. I bought it for the electric starter and tires to put on my snowblower and I was hoping I could use the engine on our old 1971 Arctic Cat Climber Minibike.
You can see from the pictures below we stripped most of the snowblower parts off and now I am trying to figure out how to make this thing work. I really want the lights to work on the old minibike and this lighting coil tested out great and the engine runs strong.
Bad thing - 1" crank with only a partial keyway.
What do you guys think is the best approach to make this crank work (1" clutch) or convert (turn it down to 3/4" and shorten it up). My son has access to a metal shop at school but I'm not sure he knows what he is doing...
Some pics:
Any ideas on what would be the best approach?
