Working On The "Thing"

This strange front-wheel powered three wheeler sat behind our shop for years until I had a wild idea to fix it up and make it run again. The last time it ran was over 6 years ago. The coil went bad and my dad didn't replace it. If I make this thing run by myself I will be impressed. lol
This is really strange, I hardly ever type more than a line or two. So enough talk! Here are some progress pictures.

Single piston engine. I didn't get a picture of it before I removed the manifold.

I took the transmission apart today, it has to be the most simple trans ever made. But that is a good thing for my sake. :)
