Earlier today I saw a picture Ricks Rides posted of a grungy old Gravely Model L. It sure has a nice old time look to it. Mr. B says it put out 8 hsp. I've had that image in my wee little brain all day bouncing around in all the empty space up there and then got to thinking about the remains of a Harley Davidson Sprint a friend gave me earlier this summer. Too far gone to restore unless somebody had a lot of money. (not me). I have it sitting under a tarp. It reminds me a little of 1940's or 50's motorcycles. I like it. Then I started thinking that instead of restoration simply put something together from this and that. Upholster a tractor seat...
So I was trying to picture that Gravely with a different motor mount on the Harley and was remembering a beefy three speed transmission fasteddy has which had sprockets on it for roller chain and a stick shift with a wooden ball on the end. Can't get it all to fit together in me wee brain but it seems like something might be possible. What do you think? I also have an extra long Triple tree front fork from some kind of Suzuki motorcycle.
Here's the Harley Sprint which originally had a 250cc four stroke.
