Toro Overdrive

[osajaj]

Very true. But at the same time who is looking for another toro overdrive unit for parts and not looking for the clutch sleeve?? If there is anyone on here feel free to speak up.

I'm still waiting for you to post pictures of your clutch sleeve, because I distinctly recall, when I saw it at the Metal Dash Meet, that it was a finer toothed spline than the one Apis shows for his Toro.

[osajaj]

Hopefully I will post it tomorrow. But I am thinking your right, so I may not even have the right clutch sleeve for it. Or my overdrive could be some other beast. But everyone has been saying toro. But I agree, teeth were mich smaller.

[Terrys]

Yes, I agree, you do have a Toro, but it may be modified.
I just looked at the clutch sleeve shown on George's website and they have 38 teeth. The one Apis showed had 21 teeth. Obviously, the clutch has to mate up with the input shaft, and If my memory hasn't completely failed me, and yours is as fine as I recall, I'm wondering if the previous owner, not being able to get parts, changed the input shaft and clutch sleeve from Fairey. Count the number of spline teeth on your clutch.

[Terrys]

The splines are a lot more coarse than those of the Fairey so the parts do not interchange. Try European/Australian LR sites. They are more common in those parts of the world.

Here's the one for a Toro:

Look at the difference between the two.

Here's the rest of the Toro:



I sold this one last week. If yours is cheap enough, my buyer may be interested in buying it as a spare. He may also be willing to provide measurements if you want to have a CS made. If it were me, I'd look into adapting Fairey parts or I'd make make the missing part. If you go the fabrication route, a photocopy of the gear would be great to have. I wish this would have come up a week ago.

Picked up a Toro Overdrive but looking for the clutch sleeve. Does anyone know where I can find one in good shape?? Please help.

How bad is your sleeve? are the teeth just worn off, chipped, or is the part missing?

Well if you want a n o t h e r one JayHoe on the LRUK forum has a working one he'll part with for the right $:

Apis. Is there anyway that you can get me all the measurements and maybe even a copy, or whatever info I need to get one made. Thanks for the help. I would like to get this bad boy in, but depending on the price of getting something machined. If its too pricey I may be interested in selling it. Thanks again.

Terry, I agree with you that the clutch sleeve I have has much finer teeth. I will take a look today. My thought is that the clutch sleeve may be from a fairey OD and it actually doesnt fit. I guess when I look I will have to take a look at the grooves inside and see if that is changed. Thanks to everyone helping on this. Also I spoke with RDS and he said you can not change anything out to make it work, central shaft or clutch sleeve. Thats why I am assuming that the clutch sleeve I have is just not the correct one.

[Apis Mellifera]

I sold all my Toro things a week or so ago so I can't measure anything. I don't know if the buyer will be willing to help, but I can get you his contact info if you're interested.

[osajaj]

Yes, that would be great. Anything would help.

[osajaj]

ok, here are some pics. The OD looks like a Toro, but the gears are much smaller. Any ideas out there. It def seems to have finer teeth than the toro.
