Jparkes43 329 #176 Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) gear ratios for the 3 speed unidrive 5053-5058 1st: 66.8 to 1 2nd: 42.4 to 1 3rd: 24.6 to 1 reverse: 51.5 to 1 i'm assuming your 90 degree box doesn't have any gear reduction or vice versa. so the calculation shouldn't be to hard.

callum12 256 #177 Posted June 10, 2016 thank you very much! So I've got a max speed of 3.81MPH! that is a little slow, I might go down two inches. I think I've sorted out the throttle though, seems to work after a short test thanks again, Callum 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I almost couldn't get back in the shed yesterday there's quite a step up to the shed and I started to slip when reversing back in as the bricks were all wet and green Callum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

callum12 256 #181 Posted June 11, 2016 it is, I felt like it was running pretty well on the stock setting (1.5turns open) but then I leaned it out a little and its smoothed out really well as well as starting even better. Callum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,160 #182 Posted June 12, 2016 Sounds great, and you've got quite the back yard, by the way! I've noticed a lot of European back yards (gardens) are very well developed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
callum12 256 #183 Posted June 15, 2016 The stack does give it a nice deep note, softer on the ears too. thank you very much for the comment on the garden, I've past your comment onto our head gardener (Mum!) Callum 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russellmc301 600 #184 Posted June 16, 2016 once your done are you planing on painting it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
callum12 256 #185 Posted June 16, 2016 I'm not really sure, I love the fact i don't have to be careful with the paint when working on it or using. It's also stored in a shed with bicycles that are taken out and replaced regularly. At the moment the paint wouldn't last a week without getting scratched! although I have hit all the new fabricated parts with primer to prevent rust. perhaps some stage in the future I may paint, but I also quite like the patina...

Jparkes43 329 #186 Posted June 16, 2016 could clearcoat her or use wax on her regularly james 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
callum12 256 #187 Posted July 19, 2016 Well, with all this lovely weather I thought I better get onto something I had been turning a blind eye to for a while now. the hitch lift cable was attached to the bottom of the hand lever, this meant that with the plough (or other heavy implement) it would try and pull detent pin out of the notches. it was only a matter of time before something broke. So by using the second deck lift arm+shaft (the first was used for the brake assembly if you cast you mind back) I have created a linkage type thing to relieve the hand lever of the axial strain. I have also added a turnbuckle on the cable so can adjust it if necessary With this new system I have now been able to easily install a spring assist, I used a trampoline spring for this. Before the new assembly, you can see the small detent pin just hang on! now after, pin fully engaged, not going anywhere: hitch fully raised hitch fully lowered thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed this little update, Callum 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,160 #188 Posted January 17, 2019 Hey @callum12, how’s your project? It’s been a while... I know @Tractorhead would love to see this thread, among maybe more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe they have done this, 1000s of informative posts, peoples projects etc rendered almost pointless across the internet. The tractor is great, a couple of adjustment I will be making, I'd like to replace the chain with a toothed belt as the chain is quite noisy, and I need to adjust the routing of the belt, it gets quite hot due to all the bending it has to do! all the best, Callum 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
callum12 256 #191 Posted January 19, 2019 I just had a re-read of the thread and actually a little bit has happened since I last updated (I was really disheartened about the whole picture thing ) As was always the plan, an 8 speed came up and i was able to install that so i now have high and low range! this required a lever to be made up and adjustments of the brake setup, all in a weekend's work though. the biggest change is the new engine! i'm sure i did a post about this somewhere. I was able to find a briggs V twin, a little bit of cutting and welding was required. I took the opportunity weld a 10mm thick steel plate the the top of the chassis to mount the engine (she's a bit heavier now!) the new engine is fantastic, starts perfectly, powerful, governor works, the lot! the old engine was such a faff all the time, I never did get it to start and run well, it was one or the other!

Pullstart 63,160 #192 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Here is @callum12‘s Agri-800 as it sits, it sure looks tough! I’ve urged him to become a member for unlimited picture posting abilities, but couldn’t stand letting the build history of this creation be lost to the hands of a greedy photo sharing site. I was bidding on a vertical shaft A-80-R locally on Thursday, but someone saw way more value in it than I, but I’ve got a 13 or 14 horse Briggs that I thought would make a fun mower. That’s what got me searching for A-800 details and how I found Callum’s build. I'll just Keep my eyes open for another some day...

Tractorhead 9,065 #194 Posted January 20, 2019 Ya @pullstart you got right, i like it. looks like a brutforce Workhorse... Your Tranny will be honestly sure much more stable than mine in the 200 Series. How did you do the Transform between the Vertical engine and the Horizontal tranny? nice Build btw.

callum12 256 #197 Posted January 19, 2020 Hello all!! so the horse has been roaming around recently, she's been at a mates house putting in full days work hauling, ploughing and general tomfoolery! everything has been working great, I've routed the belt differently and now the clutch action is very smooth and progressive but doesn't seem to slip. I picked up a great saxon industries tipping trailer that suits the horse really well. for now, here's a video of the briggs twin and exhaust, this video is actually quite old but don't think i ever posted it on this thread. I'm currently compiling a video (or series) that should cover the project as best i can from start to finish, this should fill in those that missed all the pictures during the summer i'll be getting to some shows and definitely getting lots of use out of it! many thanks, Callum 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

callum12 256 #200 Posted January 20, 2020 oh no! i forgot about the screwdriver key!! It now has a proper key (by that i mean one that happens to jam in there haha) the briggs twin has a great sound, very pleased with it, not too loud either 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
