More power to you but I think between the gear reduction and the weight and drag of the truck you are way beyond the design of the PTO for anything more than going across the yard. Go for it. It never stops me. Nobody told the bumblebee it couldn't fly.

It was an interesting idea for discussion/planning, but between the limited bushings on the PTO and emergent financial limitations I think this idea is pretty much dead.

The idea is interesting, but I believe the only viable option would be to weld up a housing of heavy steel plate with tapered roller bearings that will bolt to the PTO opening, and use the gears and other components from the original PTO. That would be quite an exercise in precision machining to make it work. If I manage to win the nest multi-million dollar Powerball lottery I might just tool up and do something like that.

I found this thread late, but I think the idea is quite interesting.
The biggest issue I see would be that the tree huggers, once you got your "hybrid" up and running, would issue a company definition of acceptable "hybrids", and yours would not qualify. Definitely sore losers!

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify If you truly believe "one size fits all" try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes! [image] http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Avatar.jpg[/image]

Jon In this case, they can't because the definition is set by an international certifying authority (LEED). I dis explicitly look into that first.

Weld up a tapered roller bearing housing that will bolt to the PTO opening that will put a planetary gear set between the drive motor and the cluster gear. That will slow down the input speed to the cluster to prevent overspeeding it.

Fibonachu This is way late and probably not thought out very well,mount a sheave (pully) on your driveshaft,belt up your golf cart motor. Put your sheave ahead of the carrier bearing in the crack between the cab and bed (if needed). Get it so you can take the belt off for hi-way work or just park it up in there. Use the golf cart controls so your brakes will work. Could use one of those belts you can separate. I guess with an electric clutch you could just let the belt run full time. Just a thought, been working on our golf cart used in our big yard,lot of stuff there. With this system just put the driveline in neutral could let the engine idle for heat,steering etc.or turn it off.
