BillyT Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 What was the horsepower and lb ft of torque on that AC? Seems almost impossible to believe! Must have had a 15 to 1 chain sprocket ratio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It would pull it OK,, Just Not very Fast!!! But what about stopping it???? Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekennedy21 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I believe the ac would have 74 hp. It probably wouldn't get going fast enough to worry about stopping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have had a 15 to 1 chain sprocket ratio! 71 h.p. @ 1400 rpm and 300 pounds of torque @ 800 rpm from 471 cubic inches. 12 tooth primary sprocket and most likely a 43 rear sprocket. 40 x 6 rear tire sizes. Brakes are 17 1/4 x 6 shoes on rear and 17 1/4 x 5 shoes on primary drive and 15 x 3 external band on jack shaft. Trans could be a 3 speed, a 4 speed or the optional 7 and 2 speed split box.
