Hello out there.I have a"dead axle"one wheel drive cart in progress.my question is,if I use a large flat washer tacked to the axle itself inboard of the hub,then using the jamb nut method on the other outboard side.My goal is to secure the hub laterally without tourqing down on the hub...

thank you for the repsonses.fabroman,thats what I was hoping.It seems to me the shorter the better,as far as efficiency is concerned.

Hello out there.I have a one wheel drive "deadaxle".I am running a clone 6 horse.Hillard 12 T clutch.72 tooth sprocket.My question is this,how much clearance is best between the two sprockets?The engine is to be mounted to the side,so the two sprockets will be in the vertical plane relative to...

I am working on a new build.it has electric start.i see two hookups on the back of the starter motor.i assume this is where the terminals hookup.(I can only assume,as the manufacture did not see fit to include that info).last but not least,any info on low oil sensor removal?:huh:

good point.completely slipped my mind.galvinization is a zinc surface coating that not only gives off toxic fumes but also a lot of paints don't stick well at all.On the plus side it doesn't rust if not painted(except where welding and grinding have removed it)

the good news is the guys around here wont make you want to get drunk just to forget the hour of whining you just endured:cornut:

for most of us out there a limited budget is a frustrating reality.But this need not be an impediment.The monetary mindset that most people seem to suffer with these days can hinder us in so many ways.when I see a need for something the first thing I do is find any way possible to...

maybe run out of water in desert,get drink from small,bitter cactus?

yes using a diff is a good point.I forgot to add some pertinent info,im a bit frugal(ok ok im cheap like the baby bird says)if I go with one wheel drive will a jackshaft be a cheaper alternative?I definitely want to go for the cleaner look and better weight distribution of the centered motor.and...
