Gyro, although this is more of a mechanical engineering question and I graduated as an electrical engineer, the physics and conservation of energy issues still intrigue me and we still had to study lots of physics n mechanical stuff. When you discounted the effects of friction and weight (isnt that what you said or intended?) and are left with only the straight gear ratios, I see NO DIFFERENCE, i.e both rides would be the same. Not more or less difficult. Remember, we cant create or destroy energy, only change its form. Thats why in the real world of friction the tractors drawbar HP is less then on the clutch pulley, cuz of the HP requirements necesary to turn all the gears and the friction n heat losses. It got used up and converted to heat energy cuz of the gear friction so theres less available on the drawbar. If your bicycle has frictionless and weightless gears, I see the effort the same to turn the crank/pedals regardless if it were a 10/20 or 15/30 gear set up. So, until proven otherwise, "Thats my story n Im stickin to it" lol John T

Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
