You're pretty close. It's the foot rest ring from an adjustable office chair. Not directly on the floor. A few inches up.

Like I commented on your video. Any chain driven mower will use that type of diff.

 

I bet you can find them for free.  Great idea Kevin!

About 3.6:1 ratio.   Will handle a bit over 100ft lbs or torque. 

 

It's in-line,  and has 4 bolt holes for mounting to a flat plate.

That's what we're aiming for. 

Be nice to have it for about May 1st or so.

I did some organizing and we cleaned up the work table. 

Spun the engine around and setup the super long strap wrench. 

BIG breaker bar and a half second's work.... The flywheel is off. 

Now BBT is contentedly sanding and cleaning the sheet metal in prep for paint.
