New guy from Central PA

So, thanks to Toystory4wd AKA Doc Sprocket Ive joined up here, hopefully not to be just another "bump on the log" kinda guy who never finishes what he starts. lol.


Ive got about 4 machines to work *coughplaycough*with, the main one being a old-ish craftsman that has a 10hp Tec and a 4 speed Foote trans-axle. At the moment it doesnt run, having some carb issues... lost the stupid valve seat.

Id post some pictures, but Im still trying to figure that out, its a bit different around here.
Ill figure it out sooner or later...

We didn't use the stock transaxles, swapped to peerless 820's.

15 to 20 mph is fine. 1 to 1 ratio should do it, 6 in on engine, 6 in pulley on transaxle.

Thanks!
