 Re: Pictures of My New Longtail
Dude I think it's sweet just because nobody else has it. Get a cover. I'm thinking about painting my stock exhaust pipe fire engine red just for the hell of it. I need a cover anyway. I mean, fuk it, ya know?

 Re: Pictures of My New Longtail
Is that a Chicago Electric? -that brand that Harbor Freight sells? I have heard they are pretty good motors but I have zero experience with them.

 Re: Pictures of My New Longtail
So that whole larger piece on the end of your shaft is all one piece. Just a bearing. Could you enlighten me some more. And where can i pick one of those up at? Is that what you have down bottom too? If you have any more pics showing the detail of ur bearing setup that would be awesome

 Re: Pictures of My New Longtail
Is your buddy interested in making a bunch of those bearing housings and selling them? I'd be interested in 2-3 sets if the price was reasonable.

 Re: Pictures of My New Longtail
I don't know about you guys but that looks identical to a Mud Buddy frame to me. Bearing housings and all! There is one just like it for sale on the mud motors for sale forum.

 Re: Pictures of My New Longtail
Where did you order shaft and bearing parts from? I'm doing the exact same thing to my longtail right now. I've got the frame built and the engine running great. Anything specific you think I should know?

That's. Because it is a mb frame.
He bought it with a blown motor.
