Chassis / steering help needed
« on: March 07, 2008, 12:56:39 am »
Hi guys,
I am having a bit of a problem with the steering set up on my mower. I have to clear the pully at the front and to do so i need to move the piviot point of the bell crank forward. This means that the steering looks kind of funny compared with most of the other one ones i have seen.I have also tried different lenth bell cranks and have drilled holes in the arms to try different positions however i dont seem to get enough movement on the out side spindle. I know that one moves more then the other (akerman effect). Could you maybe look at the sizes of the belcranks and let me know what you guys run or maybe a way to get around this problem.
This is my trial bell crank moved to far back it would hit the pully if it was here
This is the set up to give you an idea of scale
This is wear the bellcrank needs to be to clear the pully.
This may work fine but i would like some input from people that know more than i
Cheers
