| Post subject: | Vtwin homemade motor |
Think I may have posted in the wrong subforum originally Has anyone put a vtwin on their homemade mud motor. I ordered the mad mut motor plan (this is where you have to take a drink) to see what I can craft up. If anyone has made a thread on it I'll look harder but I've been searching all day on my poop breaks to try and find a thread where someone has made one with a vtwin. Just for reference I'll be using the predator 670 vtwin. I know I have to use a thrust bearing, possibly some others. But my curiosity is what they did with the structural strengthening for a vtwin and what u joint and what bearings were used And if they used a 1" shaft instead of 3/4" Sent from...wait, Where am I? |

It has been done by many on this site but alot of them were before the server change so a lot of photos are no longer there... Weve build a couple with some GX670's... Its pretty simple, weld your frame, find two yokes that fit the 3/4" shaft and whatever your pto on the engine side is, slap a u-joint between the yokes... Id suggest running a caged bearing in the top of the frame; other than that the lower end should be sealed with either bronze bushing or stack of bearings... There is a wealth of info on the site... If you get stuck shoot me a PM, Id be glad to help... |

Is there a place where you can buy a u joint with yokes that one is 3/4 inch and one is 1 inch. McMaster Carr has them but they are all the same size on both sides Sent from...wait, Where am I? |

So I've come to the conclusion mcmaster Carr is a junk website. After talking with them you can't buy yokes for needle bearing u joints. I found http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com to be far superior and you can Litterally buy everything but steel that you need for a custom mud motor from them. And it's all cheaper to. Roughly half the price of mcmaster carr. There aren't bronze bushing at Dennys though Sent from...wait, Where am I? |

That I don't know. What I do know is if you can find a place that sells honda small engine parts/small engine performance parts, they are interchangeable. The gx630 and gx670 parts work for this motor. It's a honda clone Sent from...wait, Where am I? |
