Has anyone ever tried to figure out what the final
drive ratios are in a large frame tractor?
I jacked up the back wheels and had the wife turn
both of them at the same time and exactly one revolution, while I counted the
revolutions of the motor pulley on a C-185.
The numbers I came up with are as
follows:
LL - 266:1
L
- 90:1
D1 - 50:1
D2 - 34:1
Now if those numbers are anywhere near right, what
would you suggest as the optimum single drive ratio if a guy wanted to make an
Elec-Trak ZTR. I figured on using (2) E14 or maybe E15 drive motors
hooked to each drive wheel via right angle worm gear speed
reducers?
Anybody got any thoughts?
