Pto centering

Richard, I just got off the phone with my pal, Pruit Ginsberg. He said that he knew about the issue of clearance between sprocket and drum with space chain. We both agreed that it's time to hunt out a clutch with more clearance. I think this trouble has more to do with Macs, and I run West Bends, so no issues. I used to run a 101 on my Swoopster repop, and I used space chain on that setup with no troubles. Maybe the fact that I ran 10T clutches was the reason. Anyhow, where there's a problem, there's a solution. As mechanics, it's incumbent upon our ingenuity to figure out that solution! Good hunting!
I can't remember ever having chain trouble on our Clintons back in '58, other than the normal kinking. Of course, I think we ran only 12 tooth clutches back then. Ted
