Post by: Thob on February 06, 2018, 07:54:45 PM: In the video it appears that the engine has a jackshaft mounted underneath with the (original?) flywheel mounted at the rear, and I'm assuming the original clutch behind that. The jackshaft is belt driven by the engine. So the normal clutch would work.

You need to be sure the bearings on the jackshaft can handle the force of the through-out bearing when the clutch pedal is pressed.

Post by: veggie on February 08, 2018, 03:06:38 PM: Back to that original video....
There is no clutch !
A clutch mounts on a automotive engine flywheel.
I can only guess that the user must push the vehicle a bit and then pull it into 1st. gear....then jump in.
I'm not aware of any type of clutch that could fit on the end of that jackshaft just before the transmission. ???

Cheers,
Veggie

The original flywheel & bell housing look to be present, so the clutch is probably still there, on the other side. Yeah, the bearings in the pulley on the jackshaft would need to be pretty bloody sturdy, as they have to resist the push of the throw-out bearing as Thob says.

Alternatively, the 'box might be automatic, but I don't see a fluid flywheel...

Post by: carlb23 on February 08, 2018, 10:05:28 PM: I agree with Glort. looks like a stock flywheel with a pressure plate mounted to it. The clutch pedal does look to be in the correct position.

At about 1:07 you can see the flywheel. Looks in the right position so I would say the thing has the original clutch.
Earlier in the vid you can see the manual shift lever and the clutch pedal which looks the right height.

Ah ! yes....I see that now. Good eye !

On the clutch thing, you could remove half of the springs in the pressure plate and still have more than enough clutch for the horsepower.
Cuts way down on the thrust pressure. My 69 International cub loboy has the clutch and pressure plate mounted on the tranny, driven from the engine mounted flywheel via a driveshaft, and only 3 one inch or so coil springs in the pressure plate. Oh and the clutch disk is about 6 inches in diameter.
