Right angle speedy up tractor PTO gearbox

[wills-mill]

I'm pondering taking the 3 phase motor off a big workshop bandsaw and 3pt linkage mounting it. I want to have the saw sat across the back of the tractor, so that any timber fed through won't just poke the back of the cab.

 

I can't make much headway into the world of 90 degree gearboxes to bring 540rpm up to something like 1750rpm for the band wheel. Any ideas of suppliers of new kit, or a suitable donor machines that would have a 1 to 3 (or higher) ratio?

Don't use the box to gear it up.just get a straight right angle box, an old flail will have one, then gear it up using belts once you've turned the corner.

What tractor do you have? If 1000 rpm is available then a 2 : 1 box will do. If the grey cells are correct get a 540 gearbox off a kidd double chop or Tarrup double silage harvester these will give you 2000 rpm with a input of 540.

If you want new try Gearmotors, gearboxes, motors, inverters, electric motors | Bonfiglioli

 

If you want used try any agricultural auction

 

Or........

Cheap and ready to go is this

 

Its a 2:1 gearbox with an 1, 3/8 spline input (standard tractor) and a parallel shaft (1" ish) output, the housing is ally so it wont take a huge amount of torque but it should do a band saw, what rating is the motor you want to replace?

 

I may be persuaded to part with this thing of beauty for a good cause, and a consideration of beer tokens.

Eee, that's a fine looking device. If a potential buyer drops out I'll definitely do the conversion and would be very pleased to send some beer tokens. And probably some proper cider, I seem to have become the national repository.

 

The bandsaw is a 70's Wadkin with 800mm wheels, either 5hp or 7.5hp three phase so not too juicy.

 

Signore Comer's gearboxes come up on Kramp's catalogue too. The internet is very impressive sometimes- https://www.kramp.com/shop-ch/en/365054/632280/0/Comer+gearboxes+L-25A+1%3A1

You can have that for the princely sum of 20 quid plus shipping. PM your deils

Maybe to late but I have seen a Hayter mower gearbox used not pedestrian a tractor drag one.
