Woodruff Place 2012

I have been going to Woodruff for the summer sale for a few years.

This year there was not as much cool stuff....or maybe I have become better at spotting junk.

I love these old metal filing cabinets.  

This one has a lock box in the lid.

*mystrong*

I have also been looking for one of these for a long time.  

Refillable (water) fire extinguisher.

Just add water and pressure with an air pump......

Close up.

Old dome light.....

5 bones for Powell wheels and bearings from forever ago....

57mm softies.

Princess

This will become my rear brake linkage......?

(CRC2)

Do you see what I see.....

Summer has begun

What do all these things have in common?

Summer fun.

Skateboarding.

Roll faster.

The Germ is about to get tuned.

Random aluminum tank from the Muncie spot.

"Suziki" -- never hear of it........

Lazer beam eyes

XL350 Wiring Diagram (and XL250)

XL250/350 wiring diagram.

These bikes stock would run fine without a battery.

I want to keep the headlight and brake/running lights in a non-battery system.

Almost time to color code....

Here is another general diagram from the same manual.

Memorial day isn't even over yet.

I guess CB360 clutch mechanisms are notorious for having a popping problem.

New clutch cables aren't made exactly to spec...among other things.

Z took off the adjuster nuts (at the engine and lever) and now it works!

He put new clutch plates in while it was open too.

CB360's definitely have more power than the older smaller 350 brother...

Who is that in the background?

Grizzle!  Put that thing away!

Mean muggin'.

Went for a short little ride.  

I need to get a uni filter for my bike and possibly a smaller main jet....

Third day off in a row, third day of 90+ weather.

Smoothie time.

My dad's hometownish--Hartford city.

Saturday auction in Hartford City with Z and S was a blast.

So much stuff to pick through...the crowd was amazing.

There was a bunch more behind the shed.

Three cool tractors...

I liked this one the best...went for just over 3,000

I want this!

Tool boxes for days.....nothing that great though.

Garden planter anyone?

Didn't win this auction but bought some wheels off the person that did.

I did that a lot....little things you want get lumped in with expensive crap you don't want.....

I love old tractors...

The people that go to these are great.  It was over 90 today...8 hours in the scorching heat.

This guy was blue bandana man.

Almost bought a pulley from him.

Everyone called this guys "knuckles".  

He was the first to bid and also to bow out but ended up with a lot of crap.

Bought a point checker off him.

He is sitting on a seat I bought earlier....he carried it around for at least an hour using it after.

I am glad these went cheap.  

We stuck around late for this stuff and it was worth it.

Buy of the day!

(still haven't looked inside the box)

It was thrown in with some other crap I got......

On the way home...we didn't have any tie-downs so tape will work, right?

We needed a little more....

Thanks Z and S for driving and hauling all my junk!

For now my craving for other people's old junk has been satisfied......

Enco Lathe

Enco 9" x 20" lathe.  I want.  

Anybody have an opinion on this one?

old rearsets recycled

The old rearsets that came of my SS50 motorcycle are not wasted, they have been recycled on the SS50 racer project. Makes it more of a complete bike real quickly.

Anyone interested in a SAM racebike project? I have so much projects I might never finish this one, so it is for sale.

Rearsets for the SS50

Okay, it took a while, but finaly some pictures. The brake pedal, with just enough room to have the kickstarter underneath, theoretically it is possible to start the engine, although with the high compression it is difficult. Need to find me some different kickstarter pedal some day.

Shifter pedal, will need to build something for this, I can't get enough angle underneath the footpeg, so I will probably make something more like a CR93 shifter.

The way it looks now:

I didn't feel like making another bracket for my low exhaust, so I put this thing on, that I once bought for the header, but didn't use. Kind of like the scrambler look so I'm thinking of putting on normal handle bars. Or just keep going with the cafe-racer look and fit a long tank and bumstop seat......I don't know yet. For now, the motor is out again, I made a mistake on the 4speed close ratio gearbox, and it is too close for street use, so I will probably put a "normal" 4 speed in this motor. Or maybe even a 5speed, as I think I've figured out what is wrong with the 5speed design.

溶接が苦手

More weld can never make up for a good weld...

.............I'll try that next time.

Cradle is ready.

Bad picture.   

Brake lever in place.

Yamaha side emblems out

Wood sands much faster than steel.......
