74″ Flywheels

Just cut the price on these flywheels. There in good shape. The connecting rods and crank pin are replacements to the originals (which were shit). They should be balanced before running. Overall, they’re a good piece for your motor build. If I had a set of cone cases, Id keep em. You can view them in the chopper shack.

Thanks.

Paughco Primary for Alternator Shovel – SOLD

Ive got an old inner/outer primary for 1970 and up alternator Shovels (kick only) – made by Paughco. Very cool little piece. Has some minor scratches and some dings. No cracks. No missing tabs. Nice patina. This has been mounted and run. It should definitely clean up nicely and make someone very happy. Ships from MN. – $125 – SOLD

74″ of Love – part 2

Finally got the bottom end completed. Got that Andrews AB cam spaced out proper. Cone back on. Tappets and hydro lifters cleaned and neatly back in place. New rings on .060 over pistons. Cylinders torqued back down and I even took a minute to set the timing. For now Im shelving the motor and Ill come back to the top end when I have more free time. I’ve got a couple pairs of heads that I need to have blasted before I reassemble so I’ll just save up the extra scratch and service all of them at the same time. This thing is looking real good and should run even better. Much thanks to Gator and Bear on this one. They both really laid some knowledge on me during the entire rebuild. Learning shovels from the best in the biz is a humbling (and equally rad) experience. More from the chopper blog soon.

Winter Projects – Shovelhead Transmission

Well… I’m all set with my winter projects. I just got a 4 speed ratchet top transmission for my shovelhead project. I picked it up as a cheapo rebuild. Original owner tore it down and couldnt put it back together (DUH). It got passed on to NE Rick on a trade and it sat at Ricks until I reminded him that he had it. Sweet deal. Ricks a cool fella. Lots of knowledge and Mountain Dew. Trans looks complete aside from a single missing o-ring. A few cents and a few hours to set it all back up and she’ll be ready to run.
