On my TAO Tao 150D where are the the gear oil drain and fill screw? are they on the black cover? Are they just to the rear of the black cover (not chain side) I assume the drive belt is behind this cover. Thanks. Great pics by the way.

I don't actually measure the gear oil that I add; I just squirt it into the fill hole until it runs out. This video will answer your questions:

You're welcome. It might be wise to flush it out with some Varsol as I did.

Nice looking work there.
Thought I'd pop in and thread bomb. |

Got the last bit done. Bought an AGM battery from Walmart, and then proceeded to build a box for it. I wanted to stuff the largest battery into the space that I could, since there is no kickstart on this engine (yet).
I had a bunch of flat plate scraps, and was trying to sort out how to weld it to the round tube subframe, without it looking too hillbilly. I decided to notch some 3/4' square tube I have, and weld that to the frame, making it much easier to weld flat plate to. This is how I notched the square tube. I then welded the bridge into the subframe. This pic shows it mocked-up, ready for welding. I then welded two more pieces of notched square tube to the subframe, and began to stitch some plate to it. This is pretty much the final product. Some grinding and some paint will follow. Forum member AtomicWedgie says he has some rubber mat that I can have for the bottom of the box, to protect the battery from excessive vibration.

Linda popped by after work, and she and I put the body back on the frame. She started it up and giggled as she rode it around the back yard several times. She is delighted.
The next step is to finish the trailer I'm building for her, and then to haul the whole deal to her place. We can paint everything inside her insanely clean garage, where it will be warm in the winter.

I've only ever bought parts on eBay, by using generic search terms (rather than a brand name).

As an update, I just received a new carb kit for Linda's quad, since the needle and seat were leaking. I'll install that soon.
As well, Linda is not going to need the trailer I built, as she just bought a new F-150 to pull a new Rockwood hard-wall tent trailer. The quad will fit in the truck just fine.

Very. I have a 97 Fleetwood (Coleman) pop-up with a shot ABS top. This would cure my ills. Rockwood makes very solid trailers from my experience.
