So I got the original motor pulled apart cleaned and packed away. For right now I am going to build an Okrasa Styled engine to propel the beast. I might rebuild the 25 later on. As you can see I had some help

Got the front beam out. Boy this thing has not been maintained at all. The grease was sooooo dry that it practically glued everything together. I installed new kings & links, bump stops and shocks. also sent the steering box off to Cali to have it rebuilt. Check out the tie rods.

Picked up a 36hp from Eliot for the base of the Okrasa build. Also got some nice parts in the mail. The motor is a long block now and I am currently prepping the tins for paint. I sent the lever shocks out to New York to have rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics.

Due to the cost of rebuilding the crash box trans and since I am putting a 36er in her for now I am going to install a later model 6 volt trans. I had to buy a special nose cone to convert it so I would not have to cut into the split.
