Well, since I finally got myself motivated to start back to work on this, I thought I'd post up a new thread to show how I'm putting it all together. I decided that the little 16 HP flathead motor wasn't enough, so I found a pretty good deal on a used Kohler Command 20 to put in. I also have new 94c Duster and 780 clutches to put in.
I got my T-20 back together today, and hopefully I've sloved the leak problem. I took the plungers to the machine shop, and had 2 more o-ring grooves cut into them, so I now have the first triple o-ring plungers... Even though the guy didn't get the spacing right, I think they'll work fine...
I made brackets and put in Max II chain adjusters for the rear chains, so hopefully that'll save some headache.
I rebuilt the stick mounts, and made them more robust.
Tomorrow I will start on the T-20 bracing and making a split shift setup. Then I have to make a new engine mount plate. When all the fabrication work is done on the frame I will have it powdercoated.
I'd like to find a nice 980 lower before then so I can convert to a Bigfoot, but if not, I'll just go with the 950.
I'm also looking for a factory roll cage if anyone has a line on one of those.
