The input of these transmissions are only rated at 12 ft lbs of torque. I have found in all my years of racing its best to over drive them rather than run a 1 to 1 setup. Especially on a high hp motor. I personally been running a 8 to 5 then 12 to 46 on my twin on the singles with 6" wheels I run 8 to 5 then 15 to 46 thru 50 depending on track or motor. I have had one bushing go bad in 10 years that doesn't mean I don't change some after a season. I had 1 fail best put it that way. And I run 6 to 8 oz of gear lube not grease.
Thats because of the smooth track there on.. Lawn Mower tracks are not that smooth.. at least the ones I have seen.. Not saying you can't do it that way but, wouldn't work long though..... I used to race go karts and broke chains and they don't have the torque the lawn mower have..
