Glad it work out for you.

Have you looked at the left rear wheel hub/axle? It may be loose.

That's one of the situations that had been addressed, left rear axle hub was tight, but was adjusted, hub moved nicely. Right rear hub, that was another story, that hub didn't want to budge at all, but we finally got it to come off.  I've never had one that stuck on.  That's why I hope Mike didn't ruin his puller, you could see the stress on the threads.  The front wheels were inside out too.

I'm thinking that'd be a right fine idea.

We'll see if I can figure that out.  I've never done something like that before.  But, I agree that would be nice. Sorry to say @johnnymag3 I wont be able to use that muffler on the Raider because the hood won't fit with it on.  I'd have to cut the hood, so that's not an option.  I truly like the way it sounds.

I vote to see you go crazy on it!               :happy-wavemulticolor:          A big chrome stack for the 16 HP thumper,   Flames,       Tail Fins,        Let your imagination and some extremely poor judgement be your guide!            :auto-driving:

Repaired the transmission pulley for now " I take it it didn't fly off into the forbidden lands surrounding your house? :helmet:

Took the puller apart and lubed it up again. Just a little thread file action and it will be good to go! :banana-wrench:

I'd had that thought too. 

I'll second Craig's suggestion.

Someone at one time posted a link to a toggle switch similar to the original, I'm going to need one. I thought I had saved it. If I did, I can't find it. That would complete the rewire.

I can get you a Napa # for a black rocket switch. Just have to enlarge the hole a smidge. I used one on my 1267

Napa # RS1000. In stock. Around 14 bucks. They may have a Grote equivalent on the spinner tree a little cheaper.
