In Reply to: Gear ratios posted by Pulling in Ohio on December 19, 2013 at 13:38:57:
You need to know the teeth counts of each gear set that is involved with the power flow of the tractor and find ratios of them individually. For instance, 1. the constant mesh (if your brand is equipped with), 2. the ratio of each gear speed in the transmission, 3. the ratio of the ring and pinion 4. and then the ratio of the bull gears to the bull pinions or whatever final drive your machine is equipped with. 5. If your machine has some type of shift on the go device, ( torque amplifier, power director, etc) then the ratio of each side of it needs to be figured. Those are more difficult since a planetary assembly is generally used for the low side but high is usually one to one. Once you have all these ratios as the power is sent from the input shaft to the rear axle, you multilple each group together. That will give you the total reduction. Its not fast but it is not difficult once you have all the information. A parts book can sometimes be helpful with the teeth counts per gear set but some brands you have to have the lid off and count everything manually. Good luck, Jeff

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
