live axle

[r12]

kaptain's right.

if you think you know anything about how these clutches work, you should read this book. http://www.drivepower.ca/store/store.php/products/olav-aaen-clutch-tuning-handbook

Ive been riding sleds for the better part of 20 years now and this book really makes sence. theres alot going on with the clutching and alot to mess up. theres pretty much a sweet spot on these things and if your not there your just losing power to the ground.

i recommend reading this book.

I've been around sleds my whole life (live in northern michigan) have had a blast the whole time. my friend, the one who built the sno-cart that i mentioned earlier told me how to tune the clutch for riding in dirt and what not.

edit: not to seem snotty that is, but I've realized my wrongness, and you have to give me a slight brake 74hrs and counting (awake)

ok, decided to rock a jack shaft (for the listed reasons, and because it would be impossible to change the belt or at least, very hard) so then, what modifications other than better bearing will i need to use a lawnmowers rear axle for this cart. (its got the sprocket and all that jazz instead of the pulley on the diff set up)

Lawnmower diff wont hold up, you want at least 1" live axle.
