I did some further research into this - on your behalf (Invoice for research fees to follow)- and found the following pic on Doug Self's website. He is a 'big wheel' in such matters as well as in amplifiers. It could save yopu a lot of time as you may not need to build a high building to take the water wheel etc. and naturally the time saved by it being no longer necessary to divert the Mississippi to drive the wheel will be a big saving in both time and bach(!)ache.
You will notice that the picture is of a L.Jung motor....I expect that he was Walt's father!
EDIT: I just hope that you are not offended by the idea of a belt drive!
Glad that the pooch is well again.

Iz that chap actually astride that belt getting something scratched???
I rather like the the idler wheels - but a belt drive that is properly designed has merit. I will most likely knock up a version of each - as long as I can put some proper tensioning devices to the belt drive thingy....
Ducati fan's should be more than familiar with the concept...

There are some here that think that Ducati's are lawn mowers....

I'll have you know that I have a Canadian made
Husquavarna grass cutter with a US Briggs and Stratton petrol engine! It was 30% of the price of a Honda cutter and is as tough as old boots. Only problem is I need a pair of new front wheels for it as they have worn out and now slip badly! Naturally the importer does not stock spares!!
The outrage, lawnmowers do not have desmo valves !
(and if they did, i'd want one, even after having ditched the lawn)
