I've Got To Learn To Say No

My SIL asked if I could get his Dad's old mini bike going for the grandsons. I agreed. Idiot.
It's been sitting since the late 70s and needs a bunch of TLC.

Jake's Dad provided the red snowblower engine but it's a no go because it has a 1" shaft and the driver hub of the Salsbury 330 torque converter is 3/4". Luckily, I have a low hours B&S 5.5hp Intek taking up space.

It's apart now, awaiting new shaft bearings, chains, and other dodads.

I have no clue as to what it is. It's old enough for SAE fasteners and a big ol' Carlisle tire on the back. The front wheel isn't correct but looks like it came off of a Honda Monkey. It's the only thing with metric fasteners.

My back hurts.
