Smile Torque converter driver ?

Anyone see a problem with running the end with the spring inboard?
I may have to get my driver to align with my driven.

I am putting an Ex 27 on a Murray Kilowatt.

Anyone have a good picture of the actual cart with the 6hp Tec and torque converter mounted up?

Got it with no motor or torque converter?

Thanks

Walt

Thanks for the picture. That sucks it got stolen. Do you think I can run the driven unit with the spring on the inside? . I may need to move motor over more to the right to line up with the driver.

I need to find a torque converter setup that will work with my 1 inch motor shaft and 3/4 inch jackshaft the kilowatt came with. Any suggestions?

Is there a good source for torque conv belts in different lengths?

Thanks

The set-up you'll need is the #40 or #44 series for your 1" shaft. With the belts that are available usually the driven is very close to the engine and turning the driven around doesn't allow for enough space for the helix (spring) side to be turned inward. The driven doesn't care which way it's turned!! I don't know any other source than searching the web for belts.
