  • Brian was working on his off road riding mower removing the governor, so while he had it apart we figured it was a good time to go up in size on the front pulley. the back has already been done. then we go on a vw bus cruise with some friends with their maiden voyage 1st drive in 20 years,

      Widen the stance (longer axles) and you'll be fine. An old '78 Honda Goldwing GL1000 powertrain would fit a mower nicely. eBay always has motorcycle stuff. Parts bike at $300 bid www.ebay.com/itm/1978-Honda-Gold-Wing/332451341711?hash=item4d67a4e58f:g:gcsAAOSwZB9Z-Rnl&vxp=mtr Then might need wheelie bars...

    Won't be luxuriant job build an exhaust the engine on drilled triangles based box ...
    3 triangle almost equilaterals
    The two middle one's drilled 3 times on base one time on up to get tubes "pipes" in ...
    The start one's drilled once in the middle for brian, the other two times on the base ...
    The ends one drilled on the up ...
    Using perforated pipes wheter the middle's ones or back-feed ones,
    At least on the upper one, you'll "break" the engine beat ...
    Means four triangles, four pipes, an envelope some cuts, drills, and welds works, a bit a rockwhool to absorb "vibration" and you'll have a factory brand new custom made exhaust ...
    But, well ...
    Gosh, I'm late !

    I towed a pinto 60 miles one time, with a VW bus. When we arrived, the brakes on the pinto were almost on fire. Turned out the idiot in the car, had the brakes on, as hard as he could, for the entire trip, because he was afraid. He even complained about his leg, because he had pushed so hard for the entire tip. Bus never even flinched.

    Pullies *pull* belts, not push. You can't *push* belts. If it moves up, it pulls the belt up. If it moves down, it pulls the belt down. Therefore: wobble is self correcting.

    You all made that way too hard all you had to do was cut the pulleys in half sliding big one on first slide to cut pully with the key in it upside down weld around the same that way you could use the existing keyway put your center bolt back in perfectly in line anthon take it back off whenever needed to oh and put anti seize on shaft before welding so it will slide back off

    @Z-Ack 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why would you make the rear bigger? If you make the driven smaller and drive bigger the ratio will increase and make ye faster.. if the pulleys are same size itll be same speed.. and you measure diameter and not circumference.. so if you have a 3" pulley on back and front and go 10mph and swap front drive pulley for a 4.5 then youll be able to go 15mph.. ratio of 1:1.5

    • @Z-Ack
      @Z-Ack 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you put 4,5 on rear driven pulley then itll be 1,5:1 and only go 5mph.. for every 1.5 turns of the drive the driven goes 1.... other case is every 1 turn the drive the driven goes 1.5...

    You must live near Portsmouth, cuz that's exactly where you were at on that drive with those other busses. I'm from upstate NY, but I used to go to Portsmouth to Bavarian Autosport for the big BMW show n shine event every year with a whole convoy of us bimmer heads and we definitely used to go on drives through that same exact section. Very nice area and good people. Also pretty cool how the NH liquor stores have exit ramps right off the highway. We don't have anything like that up here. I'd consider even moving out there. Nice place. Keep up the good content sir! Its enjoyable.

  • @jake-mv5oi
    @jake-mv5oi 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did the same thing with my mower. unfortunately, I don't have a lathe, so I fired up the mower and ran a zip wheel in a grinder along the weld until it came free. I cut both pulleys off and put the deck pulley in the drive pulley's old position. luckily there was a shoulder on the tube to square it up. with a bit of tapping, I got it to 18 thou and said good enough.
