I'm looking for some input on an ARMA JP Class driveline set up. I currently have an "H" pattern Indus Tranny with reverse and first gears removed. It has a fixed 8 tooth sprocket on the output shaft. I know the Pearless 700 is the standard, but this thing is in mint condition. If it doesn't work out, the bolt pattern is the same and I know what I'll need to do... I'm running 8" rims with Turf Master 16x7.5-8 on a 3/4" live axle. I know the 1 1/4" axle is the standard but, he's 50lbs dripping wet and will be lucky to reach 100lbs by the time he turns 15 based on his blood line! I have a brand new 17hp Indian strapped to the front. I'm planning on starting with a 4" pulley up front and a 6" pulley in the rear. I'm trying to figure out what tooth sprocket to put on the rear axle to assist me in getting the required 8:1 ratio. With both the tranny and rear axle sprockets being fixed, I realize dialing in the 8:1 ratio will come from the pulley combination. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
