Just tearing down a beater I shouldn't have bought

[wesleyonoel]

Fortunately a safety chain was wrapped around the engine in case it might fall out. About the whistle..............had one like that once.........

 

[rsor]

That's some serious rust on the drive sprocket and chain!

 

[BluzPlayer]

Personally I think you should mold a clear lexan cover and park it next to @DogBunny 's rust bucket project. That's a concourse I could enjoy.

I bet you'll have fun getting the alternator rotor off.

Whatever you do with it, please don't ruin the patina. That took years to perfect!

Probably good they didn't keep going! Look close, several other links are cracked, ready to fail.

Cover came off pretty easy, clean as a whistle in there.

Too much grease in the barrel... Quote from my deceased foreman

Jeez, Gary, if you'd split your wood with maul and wedges, you wouldn't have to feel guilty about Allison's aching back.

I just use the splitting maul. I don't need no wedges with this ash. But I like to work on level ground.

But sir, it was my fault. I'm the one who should be flogged! from "Captain Ned and The Raging Queen" SNL 1970's

Looks very healthy. Nothing much to do here. Time to get another project.

[mrtwowheel]

The frame probably has some rust and it probably needs a few touch-up welds.

So, you may as well build a HARDTAIL BOBBER ????
