I've been thinking....which if you know me could be dangerous....but aren't a lot of Harley-Davidson motorcycles driven with belt???
A blower belt with take how much horsepower?? What I've been thinking, why use a V-Drive? Why not a blower belt or even two blower belts...I don't smoke anything, but I do drink...
I've just been thinking... What do you all think??
Ron, it could be worked out, or in, however you want to say it. Interesting concept. No directional change, gearing at the switch of a pulley or two, much less friction of moving parts...........It would take a re engineering of the shaft log to allow for the side load needed to make the belt work, and the motor would need to be parallel to the shaft in order to keep the belt aligned. Interesting indeed.........What about the in/out part? How would you dis- engage it? Idler pully?? I've got a flywheel driven v drive Olds hydro we could play with.......Ray
PS: Bump up the octane, and give me another.........Yeah, the same as he is having.........
