casper50 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Posted July 3, 2018 I've just about got my game/firewood hauler built. First test run. Went right up the hill. Clutch is getting hot. I've been told that because it's moving so slow it doesn't engage completly and slips causing friction/heat. I need to research a fix. It's based upon this commercial one. http://www.ascendercarrier.com/gallery Quote
DJ194950 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Posted July 3, 2018 From the pictures shown for the commercial model they have a giant main sprocket compared to yours and a good sized clutch. The big sprocket lowers the ratio therefore less clutch slippage in use and a heavy duty clutch for a lot of slippage in very rough terrain. JMO as I have no experience with such machines and only observation. ? DJ Quote
casper50 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Posted July 3, 2018 I couldn't find a large sprocket that would fit on my 3 wheeler front tire shaft. I wanted a 72 I have a 48 tooth. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted July 3, 2018 Report Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Do you have room to add a jack shaft for a double reduction? Maybe just above the engine? Edited July 3, 2018 by Merle Coggins Quote
casper50 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Posted July 4, 2018 I most likely have the room. It's not cramped. Quote
