Will Baker Hill7000 Transmission work for Attex superchief 500?

[VrOtt]

I have an Attex Superchief 500 and I was wandering if a Baker Hill 7000 transmission would work for this machine. Please let me know, because i'm having a hard time finding a reasonably priced T-20 and I found a Baker Hill 7000 in my price range. Thanks for the responses.

The baker hills run 40 chain and t20 are 50 so you would need all new sprocket. Be cheaper probably to just get the t20. It could be done with lots of fabricating though.

What about a Baker Hill 5000 transmission?

The 5000/7000 and the 6000 all run #40 chain.

The 5000 also has a 3/4" shaft at the ends and will snap under severe load. The G50B in the Superchief would more than deliver a "severe" enough load to snap it in my opinion. You'd end up fabricating an awful lot of bracketry and idlers to fit any of the Baker/Hill transmissions in a later frame, too.

I'm with Larry- better to go with the T20 in this case.
