Got to work on it some this afternoon lowering the tranny mount and adding the balance of the supports and chain adjuster. Okay it's official "I'm a REAL redneck"
Too cheap to go to a machinist!!." Disclaimer- I don't recommend this", I used my drill press as a lathe to cut a sprocket off and reduce the diameter of the tranny shaft so the other sprocket carrier would fit. Made a simple mandrel, chucked it up and put my 4" grinder against it!!!!It worked
- took about an hour and no bill when I was done!!Tomorrow I should get the chain from the engine to the tranny finished- this time the gearing is much easier than with the 600cc, I put a 45tooth on the axle and I'm using a 16tooth on the tranny input that matches the 400cc engine- so that's 1:1 in 2nd gear(final drive), the Polaris tranny has a 2.38+/- to 1 gear reduction.Should have good climbing ability.
