[QUOTE="Nuzzy, post: 1347217, member: 15952"] Simplicity/Allis GTs back in the day were all shaft driven instead of pulley driven. They mounted their motors' output side toward the front (for a front PTO) and instead ran a coupler to the drive shaft off the flywheel. The motors they used were all CCW rotation when viewed from output side which meant CW rotation on flywheel side. Thus, their shafts to the BGB were built to run with the according rotation. This diesel motor is also CCW rotation when viewed from the output, so if I had run it as you say, it would be turning the drive shaft backwards. I know of at least one guy who tried to reverse the gears in his BGB to make up for it, but the unit died prematurely due to improper lubrication. :awesomework: I know... :booo: Will get me a real tractor one of these days :gunz: But yes, now it will be a good workhorse! Pulling logs and wood carts, plowing, tilling, discing, cultivating, pushing snow, blowing snow, putting a smile on my face. :D Now I just need to start looking out for good attachments :clappy: [/QUOTE]
