Racing Mower Semi Automatic Transmission 

Alright!

I thought about putting a driven on the rear but never got around to it, the way the mower currently is today seems pretty good with regular pulleys, however it was fun trying the torque converter pulley out though.

Oh ok, that will work!

Thanks dude! Got the idea from CarsandCameras

Alright!

​@@IngenTechNational Finally got it put together, and it's SO easy to pop wheelies!!

Ah nice!

Thank ya!

Thanks dude, but for whatever reason now it is staying charged now 😂idk

Yeah lol, I did to a pull start on this on both my mowers! The single OHV and the Twin.

Yep! That is how I got the whole idea for this build, I have been watching them over 5 years on other channels when this one didn't exist yet and when I saw that build I had to do it! Now 4 years later I'm finally doing it!

Thanks dude! The video when I got the mower driving for the first time has a clip of the under side.

Maybe idk I'll see

Not really honestly, big thing is making sure your belt alignment between the pulleys is perfect and obviously the proper size and it should be good.

A 5/8 is one inch larger than a half for the same size. You can fit a 5/8 on it but you have to have pulleys to fit it and unbolt the clutch and idler to slip around the factory belt guards and it should work.

Nah not yet, the pulleys seem to be holding up alright, apart from this 40 series driver springs & rollers sometimes popping out but other than that it seems fine.

Thanks for the info dude!

I would do a chain but then I couldn't use the clutch, if I got a 1" bore centrifugal clutch with chain sprockets then maybe that will work idk!

I got the torque converter from CarsandCameras lol

Yeah ikr! 😂

those dudes rock

The spring on the clutch will compensate for the torque converter when it engages the belt and extends. It probably extends fully to 3 1/2 inches with a half inch belt and 4 inches with a 5/8 belt. The old pulley is 3 1/2 inches but the belt sits in the groove, the belt on the torque converter sits actually 3 1/2 inches so in theory it actually is a bit bigger than stock. Its hard to explain in the comments but hopefully you under stand what I'm saying lol.

25hp lol.

Yeah if it was an offroad mower where I wanted to just continually move just a pulley would be fine but since this is mainly going to be on flat surfaces and really tall gearing I think it would be better (for me anyway) but you do you dude!

Not to the torque converter it self but I did put a smaller pulley on in the back to make the gearing a bit taller.

@@IngenTechNationalalso did you add any spacers because I saw you put washers on the pully rod

@@reesemolloy6109Yeah I put some up on the shaft to help align the belt and for the bolt to fully tighten.

@@IngenTechNational one last question how much smaller did you get for a belt sorry for all the questions

@@reesemolloy6109 Ur fine, on this mower it was a 87 inch with the torque converter and a 3 inch or 2 1/2 rear pulley

You don't have to have the clutch but it can allow you to rev higher and dump it lol

Here is all the modifications I have made to this mower: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F_t5Dp0CeGA.html

Honestly not really lol

Yeah it has, but sometimes the rollers and springs get jacked up sometimes but I put heavy springs in it to raise the engagement rpm and to eliminate that problem lol.

@@IngenTechNational Why not put a 1/4 thick or so tube/spacer with a flat plate welded to it in front of the backing plate (back part of the driver) so you have the proper spacing set up so to run a 1/2 or 5/8 belt. This way the front part that moves outward can make contact with the belt at a lower rpm range and work like a normal driver.

@@FukTheGovernment465 Yeah but it'll probably take some time and money but might try it later we will see!

@@IngenTechNational Got yua man best of luck on it.

That's me over 2 years ago, its different now lmao.
