    Attex project

    I finally started my winter project this weekend. Only had to cut 2 axles to get the frame out! Hopefully the hard part is over.

    Nice project Lance.

    The stock G50B mount works great if you don't mind modifying the cover.

    Looks like it's going to be a nice machine, Lance. That's a unique motor mount for the Briggs.
    Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.

    yes. direct from cylinder to oil return galley. The engine would smoke a little when getting on the gas. I pulled the air cleaner and saw the breather blowing oil right in to the carb. Holiding wide open, I did see a puff of smoke from the gasket area, then I saw it leaking oil.

    I'd suggest finding or fabbing a tomahawk motor mount and getting a driven clutch off Don.

    I highly suggest this as well. Drew and I both have this setup and we both have 18HP Vanguards in our Attexes and it works great. It's simple and easy to do. The engine cover won't need to be cut either. Nice project, Lance......it's good to see another green poly body Attex being built.

    1st try at the engine cover using anything I could find in the shop. I like the way it came out. I will clean it up a little bit and find some matching expanded metal for the top. I'm also going to build a luggage rack for it.

    Looks very nice Lance.
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

    I like it! Nice work! I like both sides but I almost like the diamond holed side better then the square holed mesh.

    I see it already has the usual "wind mod", typical of most Attex machines. Cool Superchief Lance. I have a Chief that holds an itty bitty cooler (that you already know about) but sadly, neither it or the cooler have seen much action lately.
