I have an old Murray mower just collecting dust so I've decided to fab it into something, but I'm not really sure what it'll end up being - lol.
Anyway, I have it all apart and what I want to do is place the 12hp engine directly on top of the 5 speed transaxle. The present "clutch" is nothing more than an idler pulley that releases tension on the belt.
What I could use help with is the clutch. With the engine connected directly to the trans, what type of clutch could be used? I thought about using couplings with inserts and just throttle down to shift but doubt that would last very long.
If you have any ideas, I would help to give a link to the clutch type you are talking about ..
Thanks,
Ron
