Nice tires, whats the final color scheme gonna be?

 

[freakboy]

i have no idea dude lol i havent gotten that far yet...

 

[kazkepox]

epic tires are epic.

 

[freakboy]

how are they epic? and there carlisle turf masters....

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

You should do racing stripes like i did, then when (if) i ever finish mine i can be like "hey you copied me"...yea

 

[kazkepox]

they just look cool because they seem skinnier than regular tires.

 

[freakboy]

Lol you already told me to put a scoop on it so you can say that lol

And kaz there 8.5'' wide rims with 8'' wide tires... gives em a stiffer side wall and a lower profile.

 

[kazkepox]

and that is why the are epic!, I say instead of a scoop just stick a blower through it!

 

[freakboy]

i got a feeling a blower dont exist for one of these........ and im sure they arent uslmra legal....

 

[kazkepox]

lol im sure, but it would still be cool....

 

[freakboy]

Any body check out the last page i got more pictures there... but anyway Tj stop gawking over my awsome tires that i got for 50 bucks bolth of em!!

Thanks to dante i figured out my gear ratios... well he figured them out for me(thanks alot bud)

But anyway... im going with a 5 inch pully on the engine to a 5 inch pully on the jackshaft... then im going to go to a 23 tooth sprocket on the jackshaft and a 10 tooth on the rear end...

The clutch is going to be a double clutch pully type deal were it puts tension on bolth sides of the belt.

This should get me toping out around 50 mhp in 5th gear...

I re arranged the gearbox last weekend so now it goes like this
*reverse was removed so it dont break inside the transaxle and screew crap up..
R*N,1,5,2,3,4,6..
I will pretty much only be using N,1 and 5th 1st for putting around at tractor shows and going slow were i need and 5th is my go fast gear... I might thor 3rd between 1st and fifth for a happy medium... not sure tho.

I would just keep it in sequence, you never know when you might need to drop a gear quickly or upshift and blast it. You can always skip gears if you feel like it, but personally it would just be annoying if the gears were out of order.

 

[freakboy]

You dont shift first second third and fourth on this... you pick one and go with it... and its annoying having to get it in 5th from neutral or first.

 

[BriggsTwins]

no shift on the fly

 

[newrider3]

Try harder, lol.

 

[freakboy]

No need to shift on the fly when goin around in circles..... its like a sprint car theres two gears go and no go.... like a thunder car they use 3 speeds Neutral Pit gear and the haul *** gear....

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Shifting on the go is pretty bad for these trannies when there being spun at like 10x the rpm they were designed for, you will wear shift keys much faster.

 

[freakboy]

yea i expect to blow the tranny some time in the future anyway.. probaly going to either fry a bearing or shear the teeth off a gear.. mabey not its pretty darn good tranny!

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Naa you should be fine, these 820s are awesome. Just make sure its mounted well, make sure the front of the tranny is strapped to the frame also and you'll be good to go.
