Geos W.O.O Modified Build
« on: June 06, 2012, 09:40:07 pm »
This is my Western Ontario Outlaw Modified class build. Have raced Outlaw the past years since we formed it but a growing family forced me to move down a few classes to some cheaper racing.
 It started as a Davison Comando. Its Powered by a FC540V Kawi mated to a Peerless 600 transaxle on 13s all around. This build was 10x harder than any outlaw or other tractor I have built, getting a short verticle jackshaft and a manual clutch in a small place can be tedious LOL. Its still not completely finished. I need a gel cell or battery that can lay in its side to fint i nthe location i have for it, as well as the front grill finished and painted as well as decals and numbers.

Is that a 100% stock 540? If so check out some of my posts on my 540 I built this spring.

Here are some pics of the mowchine all finished at its first race. Had an ok day. My gearing is way off and had some transaxle issue, its getting so hot that the gear lube of boiling out of the transaxle and I wore out the bushing for the input shaft. real good. I thought I nailed my gearing switching from a 4.0 and trying a 4.5 finalk ratios. It may have been that face I was binding the chain with the off center inputshaft, im going to make a bearing plate to keep it centered. Also its got so hot it heated up my seat to the point I could not sit or even touch it LOL.

George those 600's are known for input bearing issues, they do not get enough lube up there!
Look through the posts, there's a few fixes for it.

needle bearings. Take the bushing to a good bearing house and have them measured and replace with needle bearings.

George, get two of these stacked on top of each other to take the place of the bushing, works real good and will solve the problem for good, ran that setup for several seasons and never had a bit of problem, they also make a 1'' tall bearing you can use, but two of these is about perfect to replace the stock bushing, may have to add or remove a shim under the pinion gear....

Well. I got the bearings as suggest, and installed. Does anyone have the part number or an aftermarket seal that works for the input shaft ?? I runined my removing it as well as trying to salvage one from 2 other transaxles.

 George, there should be a number on the seal. I can't remember seeing a seal without a number. Take the i.d. and the o.d. to one of the bearing outlets and they will fix you up. There has to be several outlets where you are.

George, if memory serves me correct the peerless number is 788035a....ok i looked it up, not sure they are still available, i ordered a few, but been couple years ago, surely somebody can cross reference the number, i think it was a national seal, but not sure on that

Does the idler on the chain not being on slack side have anything to do with the input shaft getting beat. I don't mess with Kawi's much but i think they turn clockwise don't they? :confused:

its on slack side. if the jack is roatating clockwise ( same as crank ) the tension will be pulledin to the sprocket, not exiting it.
