A bit of a rambling presentation of the Borg Warner T-92 transmission used in the Planet Jr B8G walk-behind tractor.
These remarkably compact transmissions provide 2 reductions + direct drive and reverse in a compact and robust package and they've been in service since the 1940s, used in everything from Crosley automobiles and utility vehicles to a wide range of lawn and garden tractors and also in The S.L. Allen Co's most advanced Planet Jr walk-behind tractor, the B8G.
This video presents the B8G with a focus on the trasmission as well as a partial teardown and analysis of the transmission. Also included are some kudos and props to Olympic Gear of Twinsburg Ohio (www.olympicgear.com) who still make and rebuild these transmissions.
