I was just looking at my peerless 700 and it has a 5/8-9 spline but no snap ring groove to hold on the sprocket like on the 31 spline,I am going to make an adapter to hold the sprocket but im wondering how to hold the adapter on the spline,tap a hole in the end of the shaft maybe,or does anyone know of a different way :confused:

Thanks Mike

« on: November 29, 2008, 12:36:28 pm »
Just wondering what everybody uses to strenghten there frames,mine is a craftsman frame ans I was thinking of just running 1 x 1 angle around the inside of the bottom of the frame.
Does this sound ok to any of you guys or do you just run cross bracing?

Driveline / 1.250 shaft be to big for my rear axle?
« on: November 28, 2008, 11:01:20 pm »
Would a 1.250 shaft be to big for my rear axle, it is solid shafting,or is 1.000 shaft better,ive seen a few guys say they bend there shafts so im thinking that going with 1.250 would be better but it will be 4 lbs more in weight.

Thanks Mike

Driveline / What gear ratio should I be using?
« on: November 22, 2008, 11:15:34 pm »
Well this is my first post and my first build so far Ive got the engine its a 16hp vanguard governed at 3850rpm,
and I have the tranny its a peerless 700 new style,so what should I be using for pulleys and sprockets so that im making enough power on the straight aways but yet enough that im not bogging down in the corners? Ill probably be going with 16 inch rear tires on 8 inch rims also.

Any advice would be appreciated!!!!

Thanks Mike
