John S's Journal

After seeing a couple pictures of OD test rig setups, I thought I’d see what I could come up with using my engine stand. I already had the pulley setup using the old clutch disc to drive the input shaft. What I was hoping to be able to do was mount the gearbox and still be able to drive it from the front as opposed to the output shaft. It came together and it’s a close fit but the pulley cleared. I decided to make a motor mount out of wood and something that I could adjust the belt tension. A little spare wood, some hardware and I think I have something that might work.

I just need to fill the gearbox up with some 30wt and wire up the solenoid and lockout switch and see what happens. But there is a PAC-12 championship game to watch. Go Ducks!
