what's it from? toro lawn mower... those would be ideal, I could do with a couple myself depending on how big they are

speedypetey61

Yup, I was originally going to use it for my project, but I came across a Skellenger, so didn't bother, I was about to put it up on fleebay...

speedy whats that out of ????

what i posted is a 2:1 gear reduction transmission for industrial applications i was thinking to use it as a central differential um i did quite a bit of googling but really couldn't find much in the terms of pricing



speedypetey61 thats not exactly what i am looking for (beings its off set) it would have to be inline....

The axle is offset, but can be moved, cut or adjusted, it is 24 inches long at the moment.

bentley marshall

speedypetey61

Yup, I have a buddy who built a 1/4 scale monster truck with 2 of these..

hmmm, wonder if the wife would notice if i pulled the drive outta our self propelled (yep she cuts the front lawn bless her I prefer the ridem so i can drink beer as i cut)

i like the pinion off set as it would be way better for my centre shaft angles.. time to do some scavenging at the local lawnmower repair place

TORO makes a similar one... You may want to replace the axle bushings with bearings though!!

i have 2 ot those toro ones they dont look that strong and the gears a strate cut not realy ideal if you want to put any hp thru them allso only one bearing on the pinion shaft and gear mesh isnt that great eather

speedypetey61

If you wanna run HP you need a Skellenger, even better would be the New Era versions, they are much stronger, or you can stop beating around the bush and grab yourself the best quick change rear you can find....

Bob Smith out of NY makes these indestructible master pieces.....

So the original post was for a gear box for a project, I think the toro's or anything similar would be fine, otherwise take your pick from what I listed above depending on how much power your gonna run.

Jgilk1

any one know the gear ratio on the toro gear box?

QSPSB2

3.5:1

If your still looking for a rear, I have a Skellenger case with MK Pacesetter cups, new axle and ring gear hub for sale.
