At least 10-15 HP. More on a small high RPM engine.------------------

A gear drive is that bad? I had no Idea. What about a single chain vs a double chain? Rick

Just make sure it's a TRUE ROLLER. These have small freely rotating cylinders (sleeves) on the axles of the chain. This way the axle itself doesn't rub and wear on the gears. Good Luck! ------------------
