reverse transmission

I don't know, that might be okay with a flat belt on a John Deere B, but I think you would get a lot of wear on a V belt.

I'm confused, all the engines I have seen run clockwise at the flywheel end and if the pulleys line up with a wheelhorse box it should go the right way. Def need some pictures.

Lisdad not a flat belt but have you ever started a tractor with another well you have to cross the belts or make a x out of the belt.
Newt try turning the engine around so the pto is on the right side sitting in the seat all small engines turn counter clock wise now if your email to me you siad it came from a school shop class well theres the problem the young boys and ladies have never been around a small tractor like a wheel horse so unbolt the engine turn it around.
Its dark here now but tomorow I will take a picture of the side with the pullys and pot on the engine
unless some one else has one ?????? ready to post

I've been sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out how the heck can you mount an engine backward? If it was a vertical shaft engine it wouldn't matter how the engine was placed as long as the pulley was pointing down. A horizonal engine mounted backwards would mean that the pulley is on the flywheel side or the engine is waaaay offset and hanging off the frame. Hmmmm????
Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember reading that you have to be careful buying starter/generators on ebay because some starter/generators(Cub Cadet?) turn backwards from what the ones for Wheel Horse do. Why? Are they mounted differently? Do the engines run backwards? Did Kohler ever make one that did?
It sure would be nice to see a picture or for him to list the model number of the tractor and engine.
Of course this is his first and only post so hopefully he responds to our questions. It's too early for April Fools jokes.........

We have had a Cub in the workshop where the starter sits in front of the engine instead of along side. The engine still runs the normal direction.

'60's Jacobsen Chief 800's (8HP Kohler) had the starter/generator mounted so they were driven from the PTO side. This necessitated opposite rotation. The Chief 1000 and 1200 (Kohler 10 and 12HP) were driven from the flywheel side and use more common rotation. The tractor was pretty narrow and this allowed the starter to all fit inside the grill shell. When they began the 10 and 12HP they said forget the aesthetics and hung the pulley for the starter/gen outside the grill shell.
Speaking of Jacobsens and reverse transmissions...
These same Chief tractors used a very common cast iron Peerless transaxle. Rev + 3 fwd and a creeper gear. I think the entire assembly was common to early JD (perhaps less the creeper) and other makes. Only problem was, Jacobsen put the engine in backward! The PTO is on the left side. Naturally, the transaxle would run as the original poster states. They "cured" this with a little bitty round gear box added onto the input shaft. It reversed the rotation prior to entry into trans. It consisted of two spur gears...even number of gears opposite rotation. It works, but is mighty strange!
Here's a crazy thought for reversing rotation (if the original problem does exist: Flip the trans axle end for end! Rotation will be reversed...might need a wacky shifter!
Always a wise cracker, eh? :fing32:
Wow, Simon! If I turn my engine around will it look like that tractor, too???Should look like this onthe right side
