inline motor

[pumper.atv 26]

Has anyone ever put a motor inline with the frame, i have an idea but it would work better inline instead of across

:D

I'm not following what you mean. Can you elaborate a little? :ychain:

on the whs the crank goes out the side, but i want it to go back instead

I am thinking of using a diesel we have around. I might just use it the way they normally are though i just measured it

What he means is this: On a Wheel Horse, the horizontal engine has the crank running perpendicular to the frame. He wants to have the engine turn 90 degrees to run parallel with the frame like the old IH Cub Cadets and some of the John Deeres have.

You might take a look at a Cub Cadet 1100 or 482 as they have the horizontal engine running north and south like you're intending and they used a Peerless transmission that runs off a drive shaft from the engine to a right angle gear box, then a belt off of that to the pulley on the transmission.

i think the D's were the only WH's that used that configuration.

What about a 520xi, 522xi, etc. Toro/WH?

The 523Dxi had the 3 cylinder diesel, so it's definitely "do-able".

i'm not sure what those models had...i'll rephrase...i think the D autos where the only COMMON models w/ sideways engines.

All of the inline tractors built by Wheel horse were hydro drive. Might need a right angle gearbox or try running a belt system to do an inline WH gear drive.

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, BUT I PUT A DIESEL IN MY 417-8 AND PUT IT IN THE SAME AS THE K-17 WAS. I DID NOT HAVE TO CUT THE HOOD. IT HAS WORKED OUT VERY GOOD THIS WAY. RUSS

here is the one i plan to install in a tractor a 10hp Yanmar 235 2cyl

i decided to put it in the correct way, like the regular motors

if only i could find an 8spd tractor to install this :ychain:
