Hi guys new guy hear from idaho. And im currently building a racing lawn mower and need help with gearing it. Ive read on it and still dont under stand it. But im looking for high tq and about 25mph. So i have a 14 tooth clutch and 10" tires. The rig with me on it is about 300 pounds. So i think this will work. 14t to a 14t? On a jack shaft then a 60t on the jack shaft to a 10t on the trans Axel. So a 1:1 to a 6:1 = 7:1 right?

Just kartin' around....
Uhhh, NO......You have a 10 on the axle??? 14 to 14 to 60 to 10 gives you 1:.167...... Not good......

Wow, those things are really getting around now; we watched them being developed...
with Jim, your numbers are backwards, the bigger sprocket should be on the axle...

Uhh, ok, that makes a difference, maybe you should've led with the transaxle details...
My question now is why do you need compound gears into a T/A?

I have a honda clone 13 hp horizontal shaft engine that rotates counter clock ways so the shaft comes out the left side and the input of the TA is on the right. The engine was givin to me very cheep so im going with it. And thank you for you help. Should i just go to a solid axel? I would like to keep the three speed tho.
