I never get the same ratio in a diff  if I don't hold one tire still . If have both off the ground they will spin different almost everytime. Maybe I need a lesson I have four of these that all run like a train that have diffs it was just the welded one that didn't work the same. I thought it would be the easiest. Well maybe its a good thread for education time. I got my info here when I built the first one. I wish rt could run solid axles that would be good.

I know what your saying that 8:1 is that as long as the motor turns 8 times to one tire rotation. I have made a few of these for the kids at our track to race and they always worked out fine. This one was a welded transaxle that was going in the sportman at our track which can only run transaxles then we changed our mind because we needed another kids tractor on short notice so I geared it out to 8:1 and went to check belt and clutch out and it went way to fast. So back on the stands it went and I checked it 6 more times atleast and it still went to fast. So we raced it as a sportsman for 4 races and last weekend I tried to put it to 8:1 again and same thing it goes to fast. So I have another transaxle that wasn't locked and put that in. Hold one tire do the rotation and take it for a ride its fine works great so lead me to the puzzled comment. I don't know I will mess with it more in the off season and try to make heads or tails out of it just thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone had same problem. Thanks guys

ok I am taking a sportsman tractor and making it an 8:1 ratio. The sportsman had a locked transaxle and I adjusted rear pully to 8:1 ratio and got on and it went to fast. I fooled with it for a while and then put another transaxle in with an open diff adjusted that to 8:1 and it went fine so I'm wondering why the same model transaxle (4 speed foote's) acts this way. This is the forth one I have done and never had  a problem before. But this was the first transaxle that was locked. Is there some kind of gearing in the spiders that make this differance?

 You mention modifing a left hand gear box. How did you do that? I have a couple LH ones but never thought about using them because everyone says use RH ones go figure hah. Any help would be great.

We had the same issue with bearings in a 915 they don't come with them but the 930 will fit you have to give the letter after part number because its part metric part standard american measurements. This is the only way to get the right one any bearing supply sould be able to get them for you.

When I called my local peerless dealer they told me only a couple of the model numbers were still available. They are not the ones I was looking for. Anyone order one lately that was RH drive that still had a good part number. One of the ones available was the 1000-026 anybody use this. They told me about 165.00 for a price. Any help would be nice this is my first RAGB build. I know to do search and such and I have, but still not real sure on what best model  and PART NUMBERS are.

Driveline / Re: help getting 8:1 final ratio
« on: July 28, 2010, 12:05:14 pm »
Anybody have the math equation for that chart. I would like to change a couple things that only have preset tooth counts that don't match what I have. I am running a bigger tire than it will let me put in and I don't have a live axle. Its a transaxle but could still enter tooth counts for it like it was one. So if the math is somewhere on the net let me know. That chart will be great for the next build using the 700 and live axle. Thanks for any help

thanks been on there a few times and never looked in tech section. That is a great chart I knew that there was a simpler way to figure that out. Thanks again

Driveline / help getting 8:1 final ratio
« on: July 27, 2010, 07:45:21 pm »
We are starting a new prepared class for the kids and ladies at our track. We are doing the 8:1 ratio for final drive ratio. I have come up with about 6.75:1 on transaxle ratio for 5th gear. And this means I have two pulleys that are pretty close in size to get my 8:1 ratio. What is everyone else running for pulley sizes if you don't mind me asking. This shouldn't be a big secret I don't think given nobody has a gear advantage in the class. Thanks this is my first question here after hanging around for a long time. we have built a few machines from just reading other post for last year or so. You guys are a great pit crew here.
