Default my LT80 needs help

ok, so I have 2 LT 80s I got as non runners, one was an easy fix, bad ground so it wasn't even turning over or attempting to (that was just to get it running)

it has an issue with the entire rear half trying to go around the front at higher speed. almost like your fish tailing left to right but on solid asphalt with no tire slipping. I noticed play in the motor mount and I'm sure the rubber on the bushings is wore. so I wedged a washer in on one mount and am going to try and test ride it (there was enough play that I could see before hand the washer would fit there with no interference) as well as the modded rear shock mount (bolts thru the rear axle bracket and is standard hole type not clevis type rear shock) so I'll try to get that one sturdy too. other than that it looked almost like the wheel was a little warped or possibly the axle but the wheel rpm didn't have a direct affect I didn't feel on the swaying back and forth... so I don't think it's related to the warpage...

the other has a stripped variater shaft (yes I'm aware it's the crank shaft lol) as well as a cracked rear/main case so if anyone knows where to get a set of them used lmk, I think Jack is checking his he won off ebay after they arrive but I'm double checking for a set to be sure I can even fix it with not alot of cost... I see a few cranks on ebay, one was slightly damage on the oil pump drive part but I can premix and don't mind doing the oil pump delete on this one too. and another that's on there now has an indent and some rust damage where the flywheel goes so I'm not sure I even want to try that one anyhelp would be appriciated!

also am in the market for 18x10-18x8 rears for 8" rim, and 20-19x5-6 fronts for 10" rim if anyone has some used rubber that can still turn. or even possibly sand paddles lmk, may be interested in wheels too oh, and maybe a stock pipe or a trinity pipe thanks again!

Tom
