Slow but somewhat steady. This is starting to seem like the project that never ends. At least the clutch, alternator, and primary drive are all assembled.

I got the oil filter plate installed.

I installed the mounting stud for the primary inner chain case.

The chain case gets mounted to the engine with these three bolts and locks. It would probably be bad to have the clutch basket suck up a stray bolt.

This is the inner case for the primary transmission.

After 30 years the clutch basket will get a new bearing and upgraded to a sealed bearing. The old bearing was making a few noises and I don't want to take chances with old parts.

These are the parts that I have to figure out the exact spots they each belong to. I have a manual but it gets a little sketchy about what goes where.

The clutch basket and the alternator are mounted along with the primary chain. It is endless so everything has to go on at the same time as the chain cannot be added later.

The clutch basket nut gets locked with a special fitting as over the years it was discovered that the nut would back off and cause havoc. The rod sticking out of the center is the clutch operating rod.

The rear brake has to be installed along with the final drive chain so that I can lock the assembly with the brake in order to torque the bolts on the clutch and engine drive cog.

This is the lock on the clutch basket bolt.

The blue gadget is one of the few special tools I have had to buy. It compresses the clutch spring, it's a diaphram spring like on a car, so that it can be installed. Once you get some tension on it you can put it in and then the circular keeper ring spirals into a groove on the clutch basket.

That's it for the weekend. Lawns to mow, chores to do. It's coming together but it sure is slow. Stay tuned for more.

This shows both the primary and final drive chains.

I thought that this might happen. The new final drive cog was so much bigger that I am a link short on my final drive chain. I will have to get a new chain.

It's going slow but I am getting there. Stay tuned for more.
