sorta got a idea for the clutch so I am just waiting for the pulley to deal with the clutch found a old throttle cable Ill use for the foot throttle then all I gotta do is figure out a high low lever and she will be ready for a drive

So last weekend I did a little bit of work on the massey not quite done but I got the gas tank to work on its being de rusted and some bracketry to work on and the clutch is almost done. At this rate the craftsman may be driving before the massey lol
Stovepipe!
Idler pulley setup to keep the belt lined up
I am leaving the stack unwelded so I can have it like the angled part or swap it for a raincap muffler when I wanna ride all day

That diesel is the cats ass. Great stack too, if you want maybe look into doc's MULE II's breakaway stack, or if you want just brace it. Sh*t happens and she might spill over

I actually have a piece of flex pipe I am going to put in where the long piece of straight pipe is just cut it throw the flex on and a couple hose clamps the bracing is still in the works :p its actually conduit and some sced 40 fittings the stack itself is made of a piece of right angle bend I got from the local builders supply just drew a line in line with the inside of the straight section then sliced and filed flat. I was going to sand the welded sections a little flatter then someone said something about exhaust wrap so guess I am going that route lol

so I have started debating front tires for the massey I currently have the snow hogs on and while they have excellent traction and turn her pretty good I dont really like the look doesnt really match the old school look so I am debating options.
Currently on the massey
Old school ribbed front tires would look cool but wouldnt give much in the way of traction
I am not really a fan of using the traction lug tires in the front but I think they would kinda match and keep the old school look to it a bit
I doubt Ill be racing it which brings me to the ribbed tires but I know they wont perform as well in snow and mud which brings me to the traction lug and the snow hogs which also work with trail riding so I guess we will see what happens in the near future. Input is appreciated!

Teaser for the video I did this morning got the fuel tank in got it plumbed found out my throttle cable is the right length just not enough wire sticking out so going to have to figure out how to unwind the wire wrapped around it. Also for some reason it is almost like it is running out of fuel when it is running I have to flutter the throttle to keep it going or it just putters out... Air in the lines? I will bleed them before work and try again. Clutch is in but doesn't work so I will have to figure out something for that will discuss it with stretch Sunday maybe get some input from someone that has been doing this sort of thing longer than I.
(it is still uploading but hopefully will get done while I am at work so Ill try to remember to check on break)
