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.

Post 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

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.

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.

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.
