Descriptive InformationThe lower portion of this picture shows the Toro differential from the 76 professional model. The axle used is 1-1/8 CRS cut to length required. Note the bearing of sprocket #50B17. A study of the differential will show that this sprocket must be bushed and pinned to the differential gear. The sprocket on right end keys to the axle. Above this is the clutch and motor assembly. The motor is a 6 hp Briggs & Stratton, aluminum motor with 6 to 1 reduction drive. A shaft is machined to fit on the 1 drive shaft and is 6-1/2 x 1-1/4 O.D. The end of this shaft is turned to 3/4 to fit the self-aligning bearing. Careful alignment of this with the motor relieves the motor of the strain of carrying the clutch weight and chain thrust. The end of this shaft is bored and fitted with a grease fitting to supply greast to clutch sprocket. The clutch is a Dodge 106MI with a 1-1/4 bore. The flange and sprocket are turned and fitted to the clutch and when disengaged, ride on a bronze bushing. The clutch linkage is easily worked out back to the control lever.
