ACME

[owend]

I'm in! This frame is brand new and has been hanging around, time to get it done.

All right. Let's get to work. I love the shoes. LOL.
Good luck Owen.

Thanks Karen! Buckeye gave them to me and said they are great riding slippers. And if they are good enough for him to wear everyday, they are good enough for me!

Good to see you in the build off Owen !

I like those Acme frames, and their forward slanted handlebars.

This'll be a nice mini bike.

Glad to see you on board !!

Thanks guys! I cut down the original foot pegs so I can weld on a pair of folding ones. Narrowed the front hub and mocked up the 72 tooth sprocket. I need to pick up some flat stock steel for the fender brackets and to make other mounts.

I hope you washed them.
I barely wear shoes.
And when I put them on, never know what was caught up on my nails.

Looks like a cool build

Now you tell me this! I would've liked to have known that before I wore them to Church!

I finally decided on a Tecumseh 5hp. Going to loose the snowblower parts and add some correct mini bike pieces.

 

[owend]

I was able to get a few things done today. Swapped out the tank, oil dipstick, air cleaner and the pull start. Still need to remove the blower housing and weld up the hole for the primer.

Mocked up the chain tensioner to see where I'm at as far as the alignment goes. I think I need to make a longer bracket and maybe mount it lower on the pto mount with a different tension spring. Not sure about this muffler yet?

 

[chipper]

Noram and nice chain , you gonna be pulling 22.8 hp !!

 

[owend]

I wish! Missing the bushing or washer that goes between the shoes and drum. Need to find them before I can use it.

 

[owend]

I need to get a parts order together from OldMiniBikes so I can keep moving forward on this bike.

 

[owend]

I went to measure the distance between the forks for the fender bracket..not square! One more thing to fix!

 

[owend]

Going to use 4.10-6 for the tires on both wheels.

 

[owend]

Got some parts in from OldMiniBikes yesterday. Seat is harder than Chinese Math! Going to use these tires for the bike and I have all the brackets cut, just need to be welded on the frame.

 

[owend]

Seat fits like it should, the padding is like a rock! Welds broke on the fender mounts. Back to the lab!

Thanks Bryan! I wish you were closer to help me out on this one. Waiting on the frame to come back from the welder.
