    A poor man's right angle drive?

    thuelna; It's for my Father-in-law. I have access to a welder, drill press and metal cutting band saw. I don't have access to a lathe, milling machine or gear hobber. Therefore, I'm putting this thing together (as much as possible) with off the shelf components including pillow blocks...

    Am I using the right pulley terminology?

    Gents; "Sprag" it is! I used to know this stuff when I was employed in machine design. It's amazing how much you forget in 20 plus years. I remembered the principle, but not the name of the device. Alan: "Overrunning clutch" was the key. My Google searches were too limiting. I guess it makes...

    A poor man's right angle drive?

    Thanks Ross; How does one "lock a differential"? I thought I would have been doing that by immobilizing one of the output shafts. I must have been wrong though. Best Regards, Ken

    A poor man's right angle drive?

    Gents; I have an agricultural application that requires the output from a small (50 hp) tractor engine to be delivered at a (horizontal) right angle to the engine drive shaft and then, through sprockets, to the chain driven machine. No gear reduction is required. Something suitable for a...
