I can build a strong K241 engine for you if you're interested. Send me an
email & let's talk.

If you use the rear drive assembly out of a Power King tractor you have three
options to choose from the Jim Dandy had a higher ratio, the 16' and 18'
tractors had a lower ratio and the post 1982 up glass tractors have a reverse
rotation rear end that is driven from the flywheel side of the engine all are
good to at least 50 HP but may take more and the differential is a Dana
model30....Jon

don't know much about the setup though. Its a Cub trans-axle with aluminum
spacers between the case and axle housings where the planetary gears are. I
think the trans turns at engine speed and he gets the reduction with the
planetary gears. I think his idea is that spinning the trans/diff much faster
and then slowing it down after the differential will let it handle more power
and not break.

They said they were assembled within the machine, compensating for different
parts, and there was a special liquid to place into the spaces between parts. 
Just wash them off in some chemical, and they worked.  It was wild!

Thanks for all the insight everyone has given me.  I have been working a design
for a planetary final drive set up.  It will be a direct bolt into a standard
Cub frame and will allow the motor to be mounted in the stock location.  It
should be about 30-40 pounds lighter than the stock transaxle set-up.  It will
also have a small gear box on the front of the rear end housing to allow for
several gear ratio options.  It will all be made from billet aluminum, as well
as high strength alloy steel.  We are planning on possibly manufacturing these
should they work well.  We are going to begin work on the prototype within the
next month or so and should be installed in a tractor before the end of the
summer for testing.  Is there any interest from anyone out there?

The company I was working for in the 80's looked into one of these
machines back then. They determined it was cheaper to make the
prototype parts machined from scratch at that time. I'm sure the
cost has come down since then...

Here is a link to a picture of the tractor with the planetary final drives. I
can try emailing the owner to try and find out some more info on it. It is a big
opposed twin engine. If he is running without any reduction gears in the front
wouldn't the trans be turning back-wards? I guess he could have the engine
turned around to make it go the right way.

don't know much about the setup though. Its a Cub trans-axle with aluminum

think the trans turns at engine speed and he gets the reduction with the
planetary gears. I think his idea is that spinning the trans/diff much faster
and then slowing it down after the differential will let it handle more power
and not break.

I am assuming he is running without any reduction in front, but I could be
wrong. Maybe he is using the old original trans so the drive shaft from the
engine is lower?  As far as what he used for gears I have no idea.

That picture on home page of NQS web site is great. Check it out.

One question I would have is how much does it weigh?

So he is running the drive shaft right to the pinion with no reduction prior
to that. Does he have the ability to change gear ratios or is he set with
one ratio? Also do you knwo what he is using for the planetary gears? Thanks
for the info.

We have one tractor in our club with them. It runs open super stock. I don't
know much about the setup though. Its a Cub trans-axle with aluminum spacers
between the case and axle housings where the planetary gears are. I think the
trans turns at engine speed and he gets the reduction with the planetary gears.
I think his idea is that spinning the trans/diff much faster and then slowing it
down after the differential will let it handle more power and not break.

The engine also sits real low in the frame because the normal reduction gears
are not in the front anymore so the drive shaft from the engine goes to the
trans top shaft. At least I think thats how its set up.

tracy varns used a planetery rearend quite a few years ago.it could have been on
the tractor that won a class at columbus.

-We have built several sets for diesel tractors and 2 sets for pro/ super
tractors and everything is working good.

We will have a web page going in a couple weeks so they can be seen on there.
If you have any more questions please feel free to call.

We also work with Amstutz Pulling Parts so if you have any gearing needs Randy
will be able to help.
