Let's see.....where was I?......
Oh yeah! Rear sets. ;D
I pulled this heavy thing off, and the heavy brake pedal pivot assembly.
Then got some channel, and square tubing out and got busy with the drill press, drills, hole-saw, and cut-off wheel on an air grinder. Welded these up and after some fitting with the pipes on, pulled the pipes back off and welded them in the frame.
I fitted them pretty good, as you can see in this pic where I had the outside welded but not the inside yet.
I need to weld more often, some looked nice, and some looked like a hog's-ass sewed-up with barbed-wire. :-[
Luckily it all looks better after the judicious application of angle grinder, files, and chassis-black paint. 8)
The mods look
almost factory original. After I confirm that this is the right location, I am going to remove the passenger-peg mounts. So far it is looking like I "guessed" right the first time, but I may lower the pegs an inch....idk. :-\
After two days of 65 deg.high days, the forecast was grim. So I started with my other two-stroke (Poulan) in the morning at 50, and by 5:00 pm the temp was thirty and dropping. But I had two trees down and cut-up (but not split
).
In preparation for this crap:
At least Gator is enjoying it.
I have the brake and clutch pivot assembly about half designed, but I have to wait for my back to stop spasming, and the weather to warm-up, to continue.
