i have been watching your guys builds for a while now so i thought i would start my own.Im starting with a ranchking by mtd with a 12hp powerbuilt.The plan is to put a peerless 700 in it with a go kart axle and direct steer.Also a custon front axle and will be running 27 inch kenda executioners in the back and 25 inch dunlops if the front.

Sounds like you got it all figured out...are you going to make videos and post them to youtube? Some of us like to watch builds, some are satisfied with pictures...

No worries, good luck on your build, and will be looking forward to the test run! If you ever need a second opinion feel free to hit me up, Im on all the time. I dont always have the right answer but I wont leave you hanging..

Well talk to the dude and im getting the rer engine rider with the peerless 700 in it this weekend for a little 6 gallon air compressor that wont hold air and 5 dollars sound like a good deal?

sounds like a deal to me...have you have it a look over? I try to avoid money pits. Meaning if you might have to spend a lot of cash to fix it, it might not be worth it. Send pics of before and after!

Well you very well know the value of a good 700! plenty of people on this forum would gladly make an offer..lol!

I have a hydrostatic I could sell, but no one wants those!

ya when using the peerless 700 on my project should i pput a jackshaft in so it takes the strees off of it?

Jackshafts are used for many different reasons, It really doesnt matter on the stress factor I dont think..
Use one if things dont "line up" or sometimes people make several size ratios on the jack shaft and keep one size on the axle, that way you only have to exchange jackshafts to get different driving conditions..(that make sense?)
For the most part, most racing mowers ive seen have a tiny gear on the output drive running to a big gear on the axle..Only in a few set ups have I seen them use a jack shaft..

ok i wont then thanks for the info just got to figure out which sprockets to use on the axle and gear box then

Subject: Re: mud monster November 16th 2012, 3:19 pm

[quote="greener179"] yeh iwouldnt use a jackshaft

the project is still going im just collecting all the parts i need before i start building.Does anyone know what size sproket i should use on the axle i will be running a 1:1 ratio to the peerless 700 and the gear box has a 8 tooth sprocket. Im wanting to go around 20mph

This might help A CHART

But it doesnt have 8 tooth..

Check this out

http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/gearspeed.html

Its set up for bikes, but just entering "1" for all the gear ratios, and primary and secondary sprockets it will help you figure out top speed.

If you have a geared transmission and know the ratios it will tell you speed in each gear.

im not smart enough to use that calculater Embarassed

if you could help it will be greatly appreciated any info you need to know i will be on till 1am or so

What is your engine size and brand? or throw me a model number

What is your front gear sproket teeth #?
And what is the one on the axle?

and you said your pulleys are going to be 1:1 right?
and no jack shaft? so that is 1:1

All you need now is the size of your tire...and to get that you need to measure the circumference ( all the way around)

actually the formula calls for the diameter of the rear tire. Jack up the tractor, and measure the tire form the bottom to top. Use that number in the equation. Circumfrence is the diameter x 3.1416 (pi)

The software is merely a script that does a mathematical calculation. If you don't know what it is, and just need a basic number to work off of, then enter 1 for anything you don't know.

Growth rate is dependent on the tire you have . Turf tires won't grow enough to be worried about. ATV tires will grow in diameter (circumfrence as well) as the speed increases and centrifugal force stretches the tire. Calculate at 1.15 for atv tires, 1 for turf/AG tires

i got a 12hp power built flat head dont know modle number its dark outside,the sprocket on the gearbox is 8 tooth and the axle will be 60 or what ever size sprocket i could get 20 25 mph with,the tires are 27 inches

If I did it right, you would be looking at 24mph @ 2300rpm and 40.5mph@3800RPM

I dont know what your engine has for RPMs..so I did both...this is also taking into account the calculator works for this application..and if Im doing it right.. What a Face

Subject: Re: mud monster November 21st 2012, 7:53 pm

For the above equation to be right you would have to assume the transaxle is a 1:1 ratio in high gear.

i hate figuring out speeds so im going to wing it and put a 60 tooth on the axle and thanks junkstartbuilds,copperhead
