I've got the plans for a weedeater mudmotor. I can email them to you if you want them. But it wouldn't really apply to a convention mudmotor...

I've also been searching hi and low for some plans or detailed pics on a DIY long tail build. If anyone has some info on how to seal the shaft, and detailed pics of the frame I would appreciate it.

I also need info on how the 'clutch assembly' control works.

i just made a longtail i used three bronze bushings, one on each end and one in the middle and have two greese zerks to fill the tube with greese, to seal it i have three seals on each end to keep greese in and water out, havent had a problem yet

middle bushing reduces shaft whip, helps it from bending.. etc..
yall need to look at the duckhuntingchat.com forum, dont have time to find the thread now, but there is lots of info about home built longtails on there. there is one guy that has a sticky thread, you can email him for longtail plans.
