Integrated motor mount and jack shaft

[Russell]

I was looking for an easy way to mount a DIY jack shaft.
This is what I ended up with.

I see I am not the only one that put my engine on the centerline on the OCC. That jack shaft set up looks real similar to mine. I used Chromoly tubing and the 5/8 x 1 3/8 bearings.

Russ nice clean setup. Do the pedals turn with the motor or does that spocket freewheel?

Slick. Where did you get the parts?

Retmachinist,
Just wondering why you didn't go multi speed. That was the object of my project. I monitor all your posts. You do some good work, but then I'm used to being around machinist and toolies!

Bandito,
I bought the bearings and shaft on line ($40), the bearing sleeve is 1-1/4" black iron. The pedels freewheel. The motor also freewheels with the clutch engaged, because I was going to pull start only. Now I think I'll weld the motor freewheel so I can also bump start also.

can someone make me one and ship it??

I have an old 3 wheeler and think the jackshaft idea will suffice but not sure what I need or where to get it. Can anyone help.

Sheepdog31,
FYI, I know your new, note the date of the thread, upper left above the user name. Original post was OCT, 09. No big deal, normally oldies are for info, you may not get a reply, just so you know. Still good info.
