I go over the Details of the CreepyCrawler designed belt system for a modified off road Wheel Horse that I fabricated for my 1969 Wheel Horse Raider 12 Mud Mower
Really well made video here. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and explaining all the thought process behind it. Also very much appreciate the fact that you gave the credit to The originators. So I'm curious to know. After you've had this on and working for a few months. How's it going? Somewhere around the 3-minute Mark or a little later you mentioned dropping to a ½ belt from the OE 5/8. I can see your logic about having less belt slippage because it would be easier to move the belt but at the same time you have less area overall on a ½ belt then you do on most 5/8. Just curious to know what your impressions are. If you'd make any changes. Stuff like that. When you get around to answering me please hit the like thumb on this message or ridiculous RU-vid will never tell me that you answered...
I have had zero slippage problems with the 1/2” belt even submerged in water, I have made some minor belt guide tweaks but really nothing major for a video yet
at the time of making this video, this raider 12 had its factory clutch/brake, it worked really well until I got into very technical hill climb or crawling situations, so I have since retrofited it with a separate brake pedal and linkage from a C series Wheelhorse
@@jeffsmith350 I really don't think there's a big enough audience for me to justify making a deep dive video on that. However, I'd be willing to email or DM you some pictures with dimensions and explanations. It's not a simple retrofit, but not impossible either. This particular limited slip 10 pinion 6 speed transmission doesn't have the brake shaft in the right spot as an 8 pinion 8 speed would for the brake band to grip the hub correctly but I've got it to work good enough
@@shawnschultz7284 Oh sorry, that’s actually a stack with a chrome tip on it, Wheel Horse guys order them directly from Jim Kemp on Facebook for 75 bucks
