Its taken me a while to get back to her. Ive now got it disassembled and seeing what I find. Atm I have a crack in the frame, two stuck bearings, a stuck axle sprocket, a stuck centrifigual clutch, a gummed up gas tank and carb, broken seat frame, loose steering, hit or miss brakes, and multiple other things on the to do list including cabling.
Everything thats stuck will simply not budge. Im currently letting it get penetrating oil everywhere and generally cleaning and prepping here and there.
On the pictures of the bearings, the sleeve that the bearing rides on is seized to the axle with no set screws in place. The sprocket thats mounted on the brake drum sleeve is also seized on the axle. Note how it looks beat to death, not my work. The steering gear pics I put a spacer behind the plate representing how small the hole should be versus how big and out out round it is and how the bow gear is warped in both directions with slack in the bushing. I plan on getting it all sand blasted once i get the axle off.
Ive got my work cut out for me. Ive decided to use an engine mount for the 40 series driven pulley and mount the engine on a hinge on the front and an adjustable base in rear for chain slack issues. I should be able to get high enough and far enough forward with the engine to allow the driven to attach to the axle without interfering with the rear frame brace above the axle. Thoughts?
