Hi i have just bought a Scott bonnar 45. its a bit ruff but i am willing to do some work on it. Need help with what needs to be repaired to get it running the way it should,(it does run at the moment ) and the i can take care of the rest cosmetic stuff later.
Issue i have found so far , just off the motor there is a cone piece that has a small crack in it. wondering if this needs to be replaced or just leave it for now. also inside this there is a bearing that doesn't to good. sound s a bit like metal on metal photos attached. if i need his bearing and cone piece where do i get them form. sorry if terminology are incorrect.
Also a crack in the mount on one of the bolt mount under the motor photo attached, wondering what has caused this. I am assuming the motor vibration but is it something not running correctly to cause more vibration then it should? i was planning on welding a square plate under the motor to join the to bars together to strengthen. Is this the correct way to go about it?
also the self propelled drive is running all the time.i assume i need to loosen off the gear cog?
also can some one please have a look at the condition of the chains and gear cogs. they were a bit rusted i gave them a clean up and chain lubbed them.
Please let me know what parts i need to put in for now. Hoping to restore back to its former glory .
