need gearing help

[mjstutter12]

Hello all i have an extended home built cart simple design tecumshe enduro. 5 hp motor ungoverned. #35 chain 100lbs cart and 200 lbs.
i have snow chains for snow fun but i need a lower gearing i have an 18 and 13 t sprocket jackshaft what side goes where 18 on motor or other way around

The order for higher gearing is (coming from the engine to the axle) low number of teeth to high number of teeth. With a jackshaft it is low to high to low to high.

Hope this helps!

Is the 13 tooth the clutch sprocket?

For lower gearing link the larger JS sprocket to the motor and the smaller one to the axle sprocket.

Welding? Is your axle or jackshaft keyed?

Can you weld on hubs then bolt on sprockets? Welding on sprockets isn't the best of ideas being that they can wear out, lose a tooth, etc. and need to be replaced...but you can't without damaging your JS.
