IT MOVED!

Well. Here is the first runs of the Wolf. If you listen near the end, you can hear what a lack of threadlock on the clutch nut and clutch cover retaining screws can do, (Ended up with 2 screws snapped off in the clutch housing and the third cover screw bent. Screw extractor made short work of them, though). I made it back up to the work platform without a tow though!

Well, since I went over and found several loose bearing locking collars, I did a thread-lock job on all of them as well, so I decided that the retaining bar for the engine cover/seat was bugging me, as the flat plate the curved rod was welded to was bent on either side, probably from the cover being dropped open too far. I clamped the plate and straightened it. A hose clamp stops it from opening too far now, but the plate will bend again, so I cut 2 small steel corners and welded them in to spread the load out next to the mounting screws, now it will take something really bad for it to bend.
