Re: Adopted a Umax

Re: Adopted a Umax
Kept the case! and the balancer. Teeth broken on cam and crank, .025 over to be safe, carb rebuild, torque spring, basically short block, plus I had the valves done while in there, etc. Took more pics but must have been out of memory, you need to strain to put a bale of hay or a full 5 gallon gas can in the bed now!!! Camoclad next!

Re: Adopted a Umax
My guess is that's what happened here, except it was either a cam or crank tooth weak link, then the rest let go, or rather exploded under the strees....... like I said, it was used hard.

Re: Adopted a Umax
It is always satisfying to take what others would consider junk and turn it into something useful. Good job!

Re: Adopted a Umax
Well the motor in the old Umax just let go for the fourth time, mainly because my Dad users it like a tractor. Crankshaft and camshaft gone again, parts are expensive for this and I told him it was no longer worth it to rebuild. My Dad is 82 and still works like a dog out at the ranch but doesn't always understand that sometimes it pays to just buy new. Anyway, we have a complete 460 kit coming from VC for it so will start a new thread in the clone section once the install starts.....hope this baby will last.

Re: Adopted a Umax
Great to see you post again my friend! I received a 2007 Ezgo Workhorse for free at work because the cam seized in the head. I ended up useing a HF 22hp Predetor. Hopefully it will be a Workhorse for some one's property when I'm done. Good luck on the engine install
