[QUOTE="GlennsM444, post: 77624, member: 9676"] U sure am glad to hear those clutches shouldn't be scarce. I can't see that they would as there are so many 444 thru 610 machines out there in some sort of service. I agree that the belt should have no slippage. Spinning of the jackshaft is pretty easy by hand. I know this because I did it at the time I did my repower. If that jackshaft is hard to turn then sumptin stickin. Variable speed drive seems to me a luxury that enthusiast or someone with machine shop capability enjoy. Or someone with an original unmolested machine. Good running Onans are getting harder to find, though, and to rig it to a modern engine with a standard shaft seems a lot of work. My drive sheave system cost me the snowmobile secondary sheave with 1'' bore (30 bucks from an internet snowmobile junkyard) and the day of Bobcat I gave my buddy for fabricating the discs to go in between the sheave halves. I'm stuck in one slow speed but I don't care. I ain't drivin' her to San Diego anytime soon. And again, she turns over like a champ with that little riding mower battery. [/QUOTE]
