Default 1872 just brought home

I picked up a local 1872 this morning. They seem to never show up less than 3-4 hours so when Todd posted this one in the EBay/Craigslist section, I jumped on it. I was the first to call and he lives in Nashville we played phone tag this week. I was not sure it was going to go through but it did. It was 30 miles from me.

So far it needs the fuel system cleaned, it seems to be running lean. It got hot fast with just running no load on a fast idle. The next problem I found and I saw it when I bought it, was the drive line. There is a wobble at the back. I just found that it at the rear coupling where it connects to the input shaft. I am in the process of trying to get it apart. I hope there is not much damage to the input shaft. I will post some pictures in a few minutes. Thanks in advance for the help I might need.
