its running now, turned out was the spark plug, weird I know , but its a screamin demon now. gps'd it and it did 22 mph. and with only 1 working back brake. luckily the clutch started working right. at first it wouldnt engage at all, then it wouldnt release. seems to be doing what it should now. just cant put front tire up against a wall and do a burnout, only thing you'll smoke is the belt. lol. its loud. dirt bike loud. doesnt seem to matter if muffler is on or not. still needs some fine tuning too. was fun speeding around the yard. the differential was very low on oil, put a whole qt of 80/90 in there. front hub bearings were growling when i free-spun them, so as a temporay thing I pulled the dust caps off, filled 1/2 way with 80/90 and smacked them back on. later after hot-rodding around I saw where the inside of the front rims are oily. guess I got oil to the inner bearings then, and I have bad seals. well 30+ years will do that to rubber. a couple of $15 bearing kits will fix that. With it running now I probably could get my money back out of it, but its a fun toy. Just wait until the yard is wet, or it snows. I might toss the 8.50-8's for some 5.30-12's, would do 30 mph then, just be a little sluggish on take-off. really its fast enough for me right now.have lights and other "road-legal" crap to put on, body needs some paint. I have plenty of "allis chalmers orange" but not sure what color I want to go with. g/f wants to do it in ohio state. guess I could paint the front rims red then the body grey. Of course I need another trailer now, it wont fit in the ranger or ranger trailer and im not dragging it places in the box trailer. need a small open 5 x 8 trailer anyhow. just aint buying anymore plates. bad enough the cart will need plates. I should just of put a extra seat on the tractor, no licence, lights, horn or seatbelt required. of course my allis wont do 30 either, hell- "road gear" on it is only 7mph. havent took anymore pictures, pretty much looks the same except for the plywood and boat cushion as a seat, and the metallic blue overspray from when I used it as a painting table for my truck hood. Now its more than a rolling painting table. lol
