RE: My week this week! My workshop videos! - hermetic - 09-14-2024
Hi folks,
On with the Holbrook B9! I get the motor mounted and start to work on a mechanism to disconnect the drive without turning the motor off. What seemed to be a simple case of a slipping belt clutch, which I have used before many times, including on the 2CV tractor, doesnt work well in this application with much shorter belts and tighter wrap around the pulleys. I learn about the fabric covered V belt which is designed to slip with anything but a full wrap and consider the possibility. It is coming together, and after reversing cleaning and servicing the motor, she runs, and in the right direction too!

Hi folks,
This week the pulley slipping clutch starts to work, thanks to some input from Gardentractorboy! I fit two belt guides and hey presto, the belt slip clutch works! I get a pivot made and fit a square "cam" to the end, and we have a system that moves the motor from drive to free in one movement! I struggle on through various interruptions, some more welcome than others, but end the week on a positive note with a drive system clutch that works a treat!
