My favorite tool ,my grinder with the guard removed ,safety third. Have to make longer spindles if I'm going to convert to the golf cart tires.

 

[chancer]

Yup! That is about the handiest tool in any shop.

So handy, So versatile. Many people will buy 2 or 3 of the 10 dollar Harbor freight Models just keep from Changing "Blades", Wire Wheels, sanding Disc...

Do you know what your gear ratio is?
Them tires are pretty tall.

 

[hardcorewill]

Going to be a 56 tooth axle sprocket and 10 Tooth Drive I think that's right, with a tva2 torque converter.

Bolted on the brush guard good clearance on the front tires just like I planned it.

Got the torque converter

 

[hardcorewill]

Hardcore 16

Going to be new for me never build a chain steering wheel.

 

[chancer]

Gear ratio is 5.6:1 with a 20" tall rear tire and T-C. May be a little high on the final drive.
One way to find out. If it works you should have great top speed.

 

[hardcorewill]

OSD of the 175 50 13 , is just under 18 " , I am over 200 lb , only looking for a top speed of around 35 mph ....................... "if it works " Chancer ??? what is your concern ?????

 

[chancer]

When using a Cent. clutch, geared at 6:1 the max tore size is 15" if you go to 18" or 20" tires you need a TC.
You have a TC but geared to 5.6:1.
My concern would be that it may be geared too High. In other words like trying to take off in 4th gear with a Stick shift car. It either wont move or it burns up Clutches.

Like I said You just gotta try it.

N my experience a torque converter is like Jesus , will forgive you of all you're wrong doing.
