I finally decided to get this 1050 going again. i bought it a few years earlier... for get how much. maybe 100 bucks? 1966, FIrst year of the 1050's. so it had a TR-10D engine, with a magneto, instead of a 12V coil. one of the people who owned it before me, painted the whole thing, and got a new hood for it, that said, G10, which was a way later model tube frame. same bassic thing, but with alot of minor differences, steering wheel, shifters, body panels, that kind of thing. so i put a 1050 hood on the beast, to give it some of its dignity back! :) then it ran out of gas or something in the creek, and i left it there, for a long time. it filled up with water, eventually it got drug out, and the water in the block froze, cracked it. then i did all this. the clutch was stuck together, so it just drove in gear. i spent 3 or 4 hours, Taking the whole long driveshaft/clutch assymbally out, and takeing all the rusted solid parts off the thing, a wirebrushed, and greased everything back to normal. so now! it works. after this video. we were romping it too. but it needs some belts, its only got that one dryrotted one from the video, and thats gonna let us down soon i'm sure. its an excelent bolens now though! :)
