my quad uses a lawn mower trans that works exacly like this and is built far, far less strong... i bet this will handle a solid 5x the power and way more in a low speed application.. this being said, that reverse gear will blow it up the way its built it needs a bushing on the input shaft and a much deeper ratio for reverse.. looks to me like reverse is gears somewhere near 2nd gear which again is fine for a low speed machine or even his lathe???

@terryfromsouthcarolina4601 3 жыл бұрын

@@harryrenner4016 OUCH! Well I would have done just that. I build gearboxes for a living ( retired now ) and got paid pretty good for it. Math errors happen and sometimes you have to scratch your head and fix it. This lad did the best he could with the experience and tools at his disposal. I would have moved my hole over to the dimension I needed and simply bored the hole out round and made a sleeve. Weld the sleeve in and you are done. That said it's what I would do on a home project like this. If it was at work I would be staying over on my own time making new plates to fix my f***up. Lighten up on people trying to give feed back. It takes a lot of skill to get a set of gears to mesh properly and with the equipment he has the deck was stacked against him. But he persevered and fixed the problem and I'm proud of him for that. There are so many ways that the lifespan of that unit was limited but we shall not go there. The fact that he got on KZfaq and fixed it speaks volumes. Build a gear box yourself. Record your progress and overcome the shortcomings of his design. Let us know how you do with that. Cheers! Terry from South Carolina

The reason is, aluminum is a very good conductor, and the heat used to melt it is rapidly conducted away from the weld, in effect, cooling the weld. By preheating, the welder doesn't have to provide as much heat for the weld and it is not wicked away as fast.

I can't be the only one watching this here and thinking "Underdrive, one to one, overdrive, and reverse could make this quite useful as a quick change lathe spindle gearbox" can I? It would be significantly quicker than moving belts on pulleys to change gearing. He'd probably want to swap the two smallest sprockets to ones with a couple less teeth to get a wider speed range, but apart from that it looks almost made for the job. I could see it being quite a useful feature on his lathe project, and for the diameters Chris usually turns it looks like it would probably be up to the task. Worst case he'd need to open up the bores of the pulleys to press some plain brass bushings into them.

iF YOU WANT TO STOP THE NOISE AND RINGING IN THE GEAR BOX YOU NEED TO USE HELICAL GEARS. Helical gears operate more smoothly and quietly compared to spur gears due to the way the teeth interact. The teeth on a helical gear cut at an angle to the face of the gear. When two of the teeth start to engage, the contact is gradual--starting at one end of the tooth and maintaining contact as the gear rotates into full engagement.

Nice going, you have some great equipment in your shop. Another way would have been to fly cut a bigger hole then bush back with loctite and even a grub screw on the outer interface if warranted, then rebore again to size with the flycutter. This avoids any welding and therefore any chance of distortion. If you get stuck again I will chime in. Giving you a follow.

My recommendations to make it reliable for a go kart: - attach some sort of an oil slinger to one of the gears to lubricate the dogs and the shift forks during operation. -as long as there is constant lubrication, the shaft will not wear prematurely because there will be a film of oil to act as a bearing. -a way to drastically reduce the weight of the unit, the frame can be milled out while leaving some webbing for strength. - (edit) adding a chain tensioner made of high wear plastic (similar to one on an engine timing chain) should take up the slack and quiet up the gearbox.

For the lack of amps welding, if its not on its own circuit it needs to be, that will fix most of your issues. If you're still having issues, use a heat gun on the back side while you're welding, up the gas pressure, and slow down your welds and use smaller rod. Aluminum demands you take your time and not rush. I used to have to weld pressurized aluminum pipe in the field and it was always a patience game with how well the beads and fillets lay and being able to hold the pressure.

I didn't real all of the comments do I apologize if this is redundant, but if one were so inclined, a motorcycle transmission could pretty easily be modified by one with your skills, tools, and determination. It wouldn't be hard to either just pull the shafts and build a box for them or in a less refined more time oriented course of action, plenty of others have disassembled the case, cut off the unneeded bits, and attached block off plates to seal the unit back up. Some use mills to cut the case, others use bandsaws and still other much more patient gluttons for punishment (Alan Millyard for instance) have built some amazing builds starting with a hacksaw. If it's less about the doing and more about the final result there's services like chop-cut-send that are surprisingly reasonably priced (much less than I expected) for custom cut products. SuperfastMatt uses them frequently and mentioned what one order cost and while still not what I would consider "cheap" it definitely was much less than I expected and certainly what I would consider reasonable for the parts he got.

If you took the gear on gear drive section and converted it to chain drive like everything else, I believe that it could be serviceable. sure it weighs a fair amount but it would be cool to see it operate and I am curious how did you envision making a clutch setup for it? To be honest you did kind of overbuild it using 1" depending on the engine you intended to put ahead of it. I would be interested in how you would make the shifter forks and gate for gear selection. I would like to have seen what kind of speed that would have rendered. Awesome work and I wouldn't abandon the idea completely; instead, consider refining what you have done into a more compact package and a more serviceable version.

I would round the corners on those dogs, so it will give it a slight taper and help them to shift a little easier. If you bathed that in oil, it would last just fine, although its very heavy.... What I would do if i was you, is buy a cheap motorcycle engine that has a blown motor, and you could steal the trans gears out of that and put it into your own little case, that would be a good project. You could even use the engine itself as the case and just take the cylinder off and strip it down.
