First day of work, got all of the parts layed out (In my living room, it's 101degrees out with 85% humidity I am not going to work in the garage) . The frame is manufactured in California and has a sealed-bearing Neck/Stem,and welded foot-peg bungs, because the PTO shaft is 9/16 diameter I had to get a custom clutch made by Max-Torque. The first thing I had to do was get the clutch and rear sprocket to line up. The holes the engine mount had were not big enough so I drilled out a new hole to get it to mount to the frame. To prevent the brake drum from moving there is a small post sticking out of the frame that slides between two plates, two problems;
1 - Post is so long it prevents the wheel from lining up with the sprocket.
2 - The post is located so close to the axle that I had to grind out some area between plates so that it would fit. (once you see the pictures you will understand)
The post must of been made of hardened tool steel or something because it took about 9 grinding sessions in the garage to get it right. Spent about 5 Hours working on Assembling the Wheels/Tires, drilling holes, grinding, and going to Ace for some hardware, thats it for today and I will get it painted and mostly assembled tomorrow.:thumbsup:
