IT'S MINE!!!
I am so happy.
I think I'm gonna cry.
Pic 1: This is the most georgeous thing I have ever seen. Engine DOES turn over it DOES has compression and surprisingly DOES have some gas but it won't kick. Dude says it started about a year ago.
That's okay actually cause how many lawnmower engines are out there in the trash RIGHT NOW with a broken wheel but it turns right over and how many of those have an ELECTRIC START but the battery's shot.
I may just tinker with this 6 horsepower bad boy anyway...I'm gonna get in so much trouble.
Pic 2: This is the heart of the whole operation. The reason why you can use a vertical shaft lawnmower engine. The apple of my eye. The only thing sad though is that it has only one gear. Neutral and drive. But that's okay. That's okay.
You know that gear lever it's really easy to shift from drive to neutral. I mean real easy and I haven't even given it a proper lube yet. I don't think it would be too hard to get that cabled up so I can control it while on my bike.
pic 3: Well it seems that weety beety little sprocket for every one full turn it makes the pully below it turns looks like 4 times. So that little sprocket will have to give way to a bigger sprocket. It looks like it just slides on with a c clip. Can't do anything with the rear axle. That sprocket is welded on.
pic 4: The underside of (I haven't given this a name yet). I may do away with the entire plate that's painted white and do another mount for the tranny. Right away though I could see a centrifical clutch and that pully replaced with a smaller sprocket. Heck if I can't get a smaller sprocket I'll get bigger wheels. This dog will be designed for speed.
For now since I don't have a welder just yet I'm gonna leave it a tractor and get it to go fast. Then when I get a welder together it's gonna be a trailer pusher. My schwinn told me he's excited and won't stop bothering me now. He's been depressed since I built Moop for I haven't riden him in a while.
I guess I could understand that.
And remember boys and girls.
I got this for FREE!!!!!!!
