Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: curt george To: Legacy Google group Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 12:03 PM Subject: I made a new toy today. Hello Everyone. Today I finely finished my spindle motor drive unit.And I did it somewhat differently than what everyone else has already done. instead of hooking up the spindle drive into the head stock, I used the tail stock side instead. My reasons were many for doing it this way, "but in a nut shell" the biggest reason I did what I did was, I just could not get the materials to make the motor and the trencher gears,work on every position the Legacy could be moved to. So instead of going through the front door, I went through the back door instead. ;-) The motor is a 12 volt DC wheel chair motor. I used a 2 1/2" riser clamp to hold the motor, two 5/16"x4" carriage bolts and some knobs to adjust the motor onto the Legacy tail stock. The gears and the chain are form an Audi timing system (car parts) the tail stock live center is a $20.00 jet live center (on sale at Rockler) All that I had to do was to boar out the gear to mate up to the live center, then cut and wield the drive gear hub onto the live center. and it was done! ;-) "O" I did have to take apart the chain and shorten it a bit as well.But any kid who has worked on a bike can do that. (and I've done my share of that in the past.) ;-) Please let me know what you think?
