All part list, in detail. Also all section work in detail , such as bushing work, welding sprocket to rod, transforming from winch to power motor make really good video.
Nicely done! How did you decide on the sprocket size and teeth to know how fast the unit will travel at when the motor is engaged? And where would one purchase these? Are they motorcycle parts?
motor rpm / main sprocket to drive sprocket; there is a calculator you can use parts are from on line or princess auto nothing special as its all low rpm and sprreds
Nice elegant design. Much cleaner than others. All of these designs, however, including the commercial ones have a flaw. When pulling a heavy boat in softer ground or lawn, there is a lot of resistance from the trailer and the pull is from the ball, at the top of the jack. This tends to cause the front (caster end) to rise up when moving with caster end facing forward. In many cases the rise is significant, can't be contained by pressing down on the handle and can even be dangerous. I wish you had shown it in action. Also one of your comments "working on weight distribution" hints that you may have faced that problem too.
Yes heavy loads must be moved carefully; it has been modified to be positrack 100% helps with traction Working on a new one with gas engine for bigger boats/trailers
Working on a similar project yet different. Anyway, what tooth count ratio did you use? Did you have to experiment different counts or the 1st one worked fine? Where did you purchase said chain/sprockets, what was their original application? Hope to hear back on this! Thx
@@daveprototype6079 So it's roughly 2 to one. If one wanted more power, switch the small gear to around 14 teeth. It looks like a stout design, Well done Sir.
Great Job Dave! I was thinking how would I make an electric pusher and what could I use as a drive system, electric winch perfect! adding a bottle jack another great idea with lots of potential! No tell the truth how does well does it work? seems like it is good when you have to start somthing rolling or going up a grade but if you are on flat surface are there times you just would rather push since it would be faster? does it pay to add a neutral to the drive if you could do it easily? Ha Ha and i you want to over engineer it you can ad a regenerative battery charger when going down hill.....kidding! Great job!
@@michaelmayrose5140 If the trailer isn't hooked up to power, it shouldn't have the brakes engaged. The battery on those systems is just for the emergency disconnect.
Instead of having a dead wheel, I wonder if will be better having a motor for each wheel independently, you can turn on only one of the motors for turning. and double the power for each motor have less stress. Can you tell me where you get all the parts?
