| I had an idea that came to my mind, that would eliminate belt slippage. My thought was, put a horizontal shaft engine in a tractor. Then take a trans axle and turn it so that the input shaft was facing the engine shaft. ( engine l--- --l transaxle). Then make a drive shaft to connect them. A plus with this set up is it would be a 1-1 ratio. Because the trans would spin just as fast as the engine. The only big problem is making a clutch.. What do you guys think? | |

| You could do that but why not just use a shaft driven lawn tractor like some cub cadets? | |

| I dont like beating good cub cadets, they are worth money, and starting to get rare. I want one to pull with though.

| Best way to do that would be to use a RAGB - run the driveshaft to the RAGB - then to the transmission - youd need some sort of clutch because w/o one it would constantly be engaged . Then a 'normal' top input type trans can be used. A drawback would be ujoint failure unless constantly serviced.
Cubs have thier clutch mounted to the motor then to the driveshaft - from what i take theyre pretty complicated to set up correctly.
In all my years of going thru a swamp- super thick mud and water ( up to the floorbords) - i never had any belt slippage, same belt that came on the tractor when i bot it - slippage is caused by the belt wearing too rapidly. | |
