OK, the Green Machine looks to get a new lease on life for this winter and next year's project. I have some pretty extravagant plans, but need a little help.
Green Machine's engine plate has long been modified and parts missing for years from it's "STOCK" days. I am looking for a picture of that pulley carrier that would take the backwards facing Briggs or Kohler engine down and through 2 pulleys bend the belt for the transaxle. I know that part was scrapped/repurposed at least 7-8 years now. Back in my Sasquatch 1 days.
What I am looking for is a clear picture of this pulley set in the picture below. I will need to fabricate it I think. Unless I can find one for sale online. Not really sure what it is called at the moment.
Also, if I remember right, (Top side engine pulley) the frameside (Flat?) pulley was clutch and (bottom side engine pulley) the inward (V?) pulley went to the transaxle. The pulleys for the V and Flat bend were not parallel I don't think. I think the V was slanted over more at the top.

Reviewing the Build-off rules, I would consider TGM over the 50% mark to enter it next year. I'll probably start what I got in Nov-Dec sometime. Just an engine swap, driveline update, Kal's wheels. Oh and a fuel line update as well as wiring. I may cast a vote of my peers so I would not enter just for being an Admin. That would be a detailed vote of what I have planned. Right now I'm not sure there is more than 50% work, but then I think of what I need to do... maybe there is?
I'll play it fair when time comes, then I will hold off till Jan 1.
