I'm running a smc 170 and a tsr 17.5,, and it actually has a 22 pinion , not a 21.
tnx again
Temp the side of the can and the endbell. If you're running a 17.5 (I assumed that was a type and you were running a *7.5*), then you're WAY under geared and your temp gun won't be useful til you're in range. Use the smallest spur and start at 28-30T.
In 2wd, we gear 17.5's @ 28-34/70.
