I’m watching it right now lol 😆

Cool

👍 maybe it will help someone in their project

So you would mount a pulley onto the transmission shaft without any bearing support? Good luck. It's a little more complicated to build a slip / tension clutch than to just use a centrifugal clutch. My current project is getting one, but for now it has a centrifugal clutch.

Awesome , glad I could help in any way

I used a Lovejoy coupler on my golf cart conversion for just the reason you mentioned, however with this setup it's really not necessary because it is pretty easy to get the shaft true in line with the use of body shims under the bearings if needed. Thanks for watching.

👍 absolutely

Thanks 👍

Thanks, I appreciate you watching!

It's going to be pretty cool

I appreciate the comment, thanks for watching.

Thanks

Thanks, get you a small car like and mg b or a mg midget, they are so cool. My MGB with the 18 HP is awesome and I bought a midget for $400 last weekend to do another one.

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm funny thing is I actually have an MGB but it was my brothers car so I won’t be doing anything like this to it. But I would like to do this with a VW Beetle.

I would like the front engine MGB or midget but a Volkswagen is also a great choice and there is a guy on UKposts that has done it to a Volkswagen.

I think his channel name is aspieworth shop

MG's and midgets in this area can be had for between 4 and $700

Cool thanks

👍 thanks

Glad you enjoyed the video thank you for watching.

Thanks 👍

I tried to buy an old dozer once, I think it was an old international?? They wouldn't come off the price and I wasn't willing to give what they wanted.

Cool

Awesome , thanks for watching!

At some point I'll probably build a tension clutch that works off the pedal. There are also manual clutches out there that work on an electric switch I think

I think the bearings would last a good long time even at motor speed but since they are turning so much slower than the motor they probably last a very long time.

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm sounds good to me brother, awesome job

👍

Cool, thanks 👍

Thanks, I appreciate it

Go for it!

Thanks

Me too 👍

I have thought about it but the torque converters I've run haven't done very well. Perhaps I was just running cheap torque converters

Cool, thanks for watching

Awesome thanks for watching

Right now it's hard mounted but it may be a spring tensioner eventually.

LOL 👍 I think Georgie ends up being wildly successful doesn't he? Thanks for watching.

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm He does. Was just your voice for me, not his brain capacity.

@raulduke7142 LOL, bummer

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks

That sounds like a great project.👍

Thanks for watching

A go-kart clutch for a Predator 212 is only about 30 bucks and for the bigger engines they're about 55 and since I run a gear ratio that doesn't put a lot of stress on the clutch they really last a long time The one on the tractor lasted 3 years and I went to a different engine it never did wear out.

Thanks!

Hahaha, thanks for watching

Thanks 👍

I've had some of them in place for years , I gear stuff low enough that it isn't hard on the clutch.

I've used the 5 speed in a 1991 B2200 Mazda truck, a 4 speed in a 1975 MGB , and a Borg Warner T19 in a 1985 F-350. As well as a 1941 Farmall transmission.

There is no side loading on the input shaft of the transmission because the new added shaft is supported by two bearings

Awesome, glad you're back at it.

You're welcome, thanks for watching

Thanks 👍

Absolutely have, stay tuned, it'll happen one day. At one point I was going to put three Predator 212s on my tractor but decided to go a different route

Thanks

Thanks

Hahaha 👍

Most of this is a general concept build , many of the parts used would vary from project to project. I am happy to help anyone find particular parts as they need them.

I'm assuming that doing this with an automatic transmission is impossible? @@ChrisfromKeyfarm

I don't know , it might not shift.

The centrifugal clutch works great

👍

That's very interesting Make sure you get all that heavy stuff spinning true or it's going to have a terrible wobble, also that 20 HP isn't going to like turning all that rotating mass/ at first.

🤔

I'm doing a video this weekend about how to shift gears

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kWKIiYuHbJ6A1Wg.html

It's all about using the centrifugal clutch to disengage the engine from the transmission and timing you can shift any manual without the clutch if you know how to do it I'm making a video this week that shows how.

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kWKIiYuHbJ6A1Wg.html

Not sure but there are definitely some obstacles in the way.

The biggest problem with an automatic transmission is the amount of horsepower needed to get it moving due to the torque converter . A Chevy Power glide eats up 18 hp. A TH 350 takes 36 hp. And a TH 400 is hungrier yet at 48 hp. That being said , in the old days ( late 60s ) drag racers would remove the converter and swap it out for a manual clutch assembly . Remove the hub from the converter and weld it to your shaft just like you did with your clutch hub . The converter hub turns the front pump in the trans . BTW , the shifts will be brutal as the torque converter absorbs all of the shock from the shift . If you've ever driven a car with a shift kit installed, you've got an idea of what to expect .

Yes you could easily replace the torque converter with a centrifugal clutch just like this manual setup

😀👍

Thanks

Floating the gears. I'm making a video in 2 days that will show you how.

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kWKIiYuHbJ6A1Wg.html

Thanks

In this case you totally should!

It works like a semi , if you're familiar with floating the gears in a big truck then that's exactly how I drive this.

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kWKIiYuHbJ6A1Wg.html

Your absolutely right.

I don't know what you're calling speed shifting you can shift without a clutch if you do it with the right timing and finesse

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kWKIiYuHbJ6A1Wg.html

👍

I normally just use a go-kart style clutch.

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm that works pretty good too, but might wanna check out a belt CVT style one, you might be pleasently suprized with how well it works

I've used torque converters on projects, I don't really like them, and the really good ones cost a fortune

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm well, they are an adapted taste, an ole sled might go cheap? Or fer about the same cost as just the gokart flavored belt converter.. but just a thought,

👍

Cool

Absolutely not! If that were so it wouldn't be a very cool project. I'm making a video this week that shows how to shift

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm centrifugal clutch?

Yes , it has a centrifugal clutch and you can float the gears.

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kWKIiYuHbJ6A1Wg.html

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kWKIiYuHbJ6A1Wg.html

Sure can

Nope, just a simple go-kart clutch

I made a video about shifting. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kWKIiYuHbJ6A1Wg.html

Cool 👍

I see you have diesel in your name so you know how to shift that way but 99% of the population doesn't.

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm 95% doesn't know how to drive a manual lol

Less and less everyday

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm I have 3 daughters, the oldest is 15 and I required her to learn to drive with manual first. She probably won't drive one anymore but at least she will know.

Cool, where I work a lot of guys are restricted to a manual in the big truck world and it causes a real hassle.

That would be awesome

The original clutch is attached to the flywheel, which is attached to the back of the crankshaft, so the clutch doesn't attach to the transmission. As long as you gear it properly, the centrifugal clutch lasts a long time.

Mounting the flywheel would be difficult.

👍

Full use of both transmissions , I like it

That would be a lot more rotating weight!

👍

Not yet , I keep asking my buddy to let me put a predator 212 in his 72 Chevelle, but all he does is give me a dirty look.

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm 🤣

🤣

Like I mentioned in the video ,showing you how to shift is the next video but no there's no grinding.😀

Why wouldn't I just put the 460 in³ big block back in it?

Cause it's awesome 😎

Third world or not it sure is fun.

That's probably true sometimes but these projects have been pretty good to me.

I'm just joking with you bud, if it keeps you busy and makes you happy keep it up

👍

Just cause you can do something doesnt mean you shouldnt! The worst question ever answered is the one never asked

👍

Hahaha, actually tits on a bull are very important, you would never want to breed a bull that had any extra false tits because he could pass those bad genetics down to any female offspring, then their young could potentially try to suckle a false tit. So , I hope you learned something today as I did , you don't know Jack about bulls or Keyfarm projects. Thanks for watching.

I've never seen a Russian do this, several Americans, but no Russians

i seen lots of russians do this@@ChrisfromKeyfarm

👍

It's a " how to " video, that requires talking LOL.

Thanks
