No-no, just lots of gear reduction. 20ftpound if torque, 50:1 reduction. A 4 horse 2 man auger can do 250ft/lbs torque

I have a small 2hp backpack drill. Once I hit some rock in overburden, and the drill string jammed in the ground. I hooked it up to my ATv and tried lifting till the back of the ATV was in the air, but no luck. Took that weight cantilevered and a 4foot pipe wrench twisting to move it. Again...

Thanks, I have not thought that far ahead yet to think of shaft size. This is the drill I have, it only has an 8 horse Tecumseh right now. I wish an maybe 200-300cc ATV setup with auto trans perhaps but can't figure out how to get it vertical. I really need peak low torque if there's a cave in...

Thanks, I wasn't sure if the weights would be affected differently

Hi guys, I'm still working away on trying to make this equipment work. I think a nice torque converter would work to give me lots of torque in low speed and my 1200rpm fast speed, does I work on a vertical engine? Maybe a nice 20 horse Honda with a 2:1 gearbox?

Got it turned on. Engagement is too low, just off idle. If coasting down, the clutch doesn't want to disengage... Boo! I knew I should have gone heavier spring...

Fun fact, it looks like the Wacker 1540 has the same clutch springs and shoes as I need, got a local guy ordering it

Interesting. I'm looking at the maxtorque clutches, they have 6 pads and only 3 connect to the housing to transfer power. Worried that 8horses might flatten those tabs. Seems a lot lighter duty than mine, I wonder if maybe mine is overkill from a different age, it was a machine built for the...

Hi guys, I signed up here to get some help with a centrifugal clutch. Looks very similar to thee mini bike clutches other than it has heard instead of teeth. It is a 3/4" bore 4.25" clutch, steel pad and used with atf-f (ford) auto trans fluid in a reduction gearbox in a 1988 made 2person...
