Getting time to work on this project is not easy, it seems there is always something else the takes priority. I did however get a few things done since the last update.
I got the trailing arm mount welded in and was able to trial fit the engine and check for interferences. The engine fits and I actually have a little bit more wiggle room than I thought I would have. I have decided to modify the rear suspension and make it a 3-link and eliminate the pan hard bar. Once I get the 3-link set up built and installed, if it not stiff enough to keep the rear axle aligned I will add a Watts link.
After way too much time spend doing math, I was able to cut the metric taper and make a mounting adapter to mount the clutch on the flywheel of the Yanmar. I hope to get a near full day of work on this project tomorrow and get the 3-link set up done.
