blowit Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Just curious. I do not have plans to make any but wondering how many actually run the larger primary straight cuts? Not just the replacement straights. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowit Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 what you got up your sleeve brandon? We were discussing making some small changes to our water pump gears to work with the larger PTO gears without having to cut them up. Problem is there is a few different ratios being used and we will have to watch our gear structure so we do not have any adverse affects. I doubt it will be an issue but we should probably do some FEA of a new design and see how it looks structurally. Going to have to get some gear diameters so I can determine how much we can trim.

Brandon are you talking about making a different ratio water pump gear for the crank and whats on the water pump? the primary gears for the crank to clutch dont really make that much of a difference on those.

rb0804 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I think what he is trying to say is that on the 2.36's the gear on the crank is so larger that it rubs part of the water pump gear and a little tweaking is required. I am assuming that Brandon is going to try and redesign so that the buyer/assembler doesn't have to do a field mod, it would just be a drop in.

I use the 2.68's and I had to do a bit of grinding on the washer.. Nothing big.. but it was a pain in the ass since I was in a hurry to get it together last minute.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I run the 2.36's in my twister and the water pump gear had to be trimmed to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
