Of note: is the fact that VMBC has moved their meet in Portland, IN, to June 16 through 19 to make it convenient for our members to attend both meets while in the area.

Annual dues of 30.00 entitles one to the Clubs quarterly magazine, a membership card, and a membership directory.

Each year the CCOA also hosts a national meet that includes scooter shows, rides, contests, banquets, and much more.

Whatever your interest, if you want to purchase a Cushman we have 36 of them listed for sale (in varying condition) in the classified ads in the club magazine.

Or if you are ready to add some juice to your Cushman, we have classified ads for businesses that specialize in Vanguard conversions.

If you want to sell your Cushman, the club will post the ad at no charge for club members (and our ads are highly successful).

So Im thinking of welding it, easiest would be just welding a plate over it, if I wanted to put more effort into it I could grind out edges a bit, then cut a piece to fit hole, then weldgrind it to blend in.

I like the Butt Buggy idea, Ive been thinking I need something to haul me around Bonneville, anyone know what the speed record for a butt buggy is Are the roller bearings hard to find, or is it just that they are pricey Sleeveing the block or crank to make a bearing work would be no problem.

Why bolt a patch over the hole instead of welding Other than being thin metal I would think welding would be better:shrug.

Until everything switched to front wheel drive, pretty much every car on the road had tapered roller bearings in the front wheels (with the exception of some of the earlier cars that had ball bearings).

Big cars, small cars, Farm tractors wagons, garden tractor axles mower decks, hundreds if not thousands of sizes to choose from.

Some are just a few bucks each, and some can get a bit pricey depending on the application.

Only Bad thing I see is some pretty serious pitting in the lower half of the bore, guess Ill have to try the JB weld fix.

Now to get the flywheels off, oh geez, I hope its easier than the FJ flywheel, which I have still not gotten off.

If your not up for the challange, and this surely doesnt look relaxing to you, then your only other choice is to sell or part out.

I dont know if this helps, but here it is for what its worth to you.

When I was kid of sixteen (a Loooooong time ago), an older friend gave me the remains of a 1923 Model T Ford that he deemed too far gone to get running.

It was found in a field with a tree growing inside the frame.

The only thing that saved the engine from probably total destruction is a backfire that burned the wiring on the dash.

After prying the valves out with a crowbar and breaking the pistons loose, I bought a rebabbitted rod (2.00 I think) and several valves (another 2.00 I think) and put it back together.

After drying out the coils, adding a 2 gallon bulk oil can for a gas tank, a Jeep seat and rewiring it, it ran.

Tranny bands and a couple of used tires put it back on the road.

I auctioned off that Model T when I went into the service in 1960.

I made a total of 26 off of the tickets and that combined with the experience and fun I had with it made it a totally profitable experience.

That Model T is still around and still runs and is still unrestored with its Jeep seat and bulk oil can gas tank.

The guy who won it in the raffle is no longer with us but his son and grandson are still having fun with it.

Now THOSE are memories Maybe your Cushman will heap a few good memories on you.
