I'm interested in the old clutch you have
I thought the table my lathe is on was wobbly 😆
The amount of incredible engineering going on in this video by Mustie1 is simply mind bottling!
The pull start sounds like a hyena at 45:45.
did you fix the one wheel peal yet ?
Build the shaft up eith weld and then lave it down to size
1st class video to watch well done
You need to rename that thing bad to the bone
You have a lathe, you could have cut a ring spacer to fit inside the sprocket and the outside of the hub. That would have done most of the lineup. Them tack it, adjust and the weld the heck out of it. I like Gary's suggestion of welding it up then cutting it down to fit on the lathe. Then maybe you did since I'm not to the end of the video yet. Wish I had a lathe.
Back in the day when we use the gear puller. We will get it tight and then we hit it with a hammer and It would Knock off the gear or whatever you were removing. It work but 90% of the time
like they say she's going to go like snott.
Water or oil feed the cutter to prevent heat buildup.
You can put wider tires
That nerf dart though lol
Ok we need to come up with a name for your videos. I was thinking maybe "WRENCHING ON" OR "WRENCHING ON RUST", WRENCHING ON WITH MUSTIE"
Then you could start every video with…" Welcome to Wrenching On with Mustie, I'm "insert name " and I'll be your host. On today's video we are ….blah blah blah, and so on.
Eventually you could make up a few t-shirts and caps with your logo and sell some, have giveaways and watch how much you grow in no time at all. You dont need some tv network to run your show. We like how you have it now. Keep up the great work and if you need someone to design a logo for you my son is graphic designer and works for a large printing company. He is very good and he will give you a great deal. (He better or I'm kicking him out if the will)
Thanks for sharing your videos with us, they are awesome!!

What about the roll bars? Different video?
I'm half way through the vid. I know it's a year old but since you are messing around with the lathe, is there a reason you didn't cut a second step on the collar to seat the sprocket?
The Florida pool pump motor repair guy approved ! that was good info…A ..SL 292 Yamaha Snowmobile motor works best !!!
If anything from the past can be bought back to life , this is the man !
I've seen him work miracles
He walks on water on Tuesdays LMAO 😂

Why not machine the collar?
Re: the sprocket, I thought about heating the sprocket and placing a piece of steel plate over it and putting it in your press…it might flatten it straight again. Wouldn't hurt to try. Of course I drink when I watch your videos…so who knows.
So when a woodruff key is not used but you need one, assemble the pulley onto the shaft and drill between the two. Then tap the hole to use a high grade bolt as the key. I’m sure someone here knows it and can explain it better and with more eloquence than I.
I think you are better. I guess it may not be easy talking to cam. I'm a subscriber now. I like your show.
If you wanna transfer bolt holes/holes/screw positions accurately from one surface to another a good way is to drop some ballbearings in the holes put the connectable plate/sprocket/ply/hardwood on top and hit it with a hammer job dun JB
Could have just put 2 beads of weld on the coupler then use the lathe to get the correct hub size. Would have been soo much quicker
Another pile of crap
Why dint u just drill thru the clutch set screw and put a bolt so u would be able to remove it??
I know you have lots of projects, but please finish this one so we can enjoy watching you spin the tires off that beauty 🙂 Thanks
Dude! Again thanks for showing up and turning wrenches with my this weekend at Diresta's Go-kart track! Also #18 was a gem to drive!
The unsung hero of this video series………………………………..the Nerf dart.
Can we have the next video @Mustie1
