The belts a and chains and shafts are prone to breaking.
With a planetary or way to reduce RPM all this crap could be done away with.
It would make a simple clean set up.
Engine powr in a 90 deg shaft
power out.
It would get rid of over 13 belts ! 6 off the engine to the jack shaft alone !
And the maintenance , H.S. !
