The clean up of the front transmission and installation of the engine

First I power washed, the front 3 speed transmission, then primed and painted it.  Next, I installed a new pilot bearing in the flywheel mounted the flywheel on the engine.  Then, I installed a new clutch plate and bolted in the pressure plate.  Before installing the transmission on the engine, I pressed on a new throwout bearing.  With the help of my brother Jack, we bolted the transmission onto the engine.







 Next, I installed the rear motor mounds to the frame with new rubber pads, bolts and bushings.  


With the frame and the new front engine mound ready, I chain-hoisted the engine and transmission into  the frame.  

Finally, the running gear is back in the frame.
