--- Quote from: awemawson on November 03, 2016, 03:24:46 AM ---Looking good Eric :thumbup: I'm a bit puzzled by the axial position of the pulley though. Surely you want it OUTSIDE the front plate of the new gearbox :scratch: --- End quote --- I thought so too. I just don't have enough room to do it that way. The pulley that is used to drive the wheels is located very close to the motor. That would locate the gears directly in the way of the pulley on the crankshaft driving the auger/impeller. Lack of space is forcing me to come up with a strange solution. It will be clearer in a few days (I hope!) :bugeye: Eric |

I ordered a few more things today. Namely the aluminum needed to make the bracket. Ordered tap/drill and some grub screws to secure the gears. I also ordered some heavy duty C clips so the shaft doesn't work itself out of the bearings. Hopefully this weekend I will start the bracket. I have been mocking it up in CAD. Eric |

Eric, we need to see that mock up :worthless: |

Here ya go Andrew. Very rough draft... The back side will be bolt to the engine case engaging the gear on the shaft. Still have some spacing issues to work out. |
