  • T20 Skid Steer Rebuild


    Remove the carrier plate.


    Remove the ring gear drum


    Insert a bolt back into the plunger and tap it gently to push the plunger towards the center of the housing.


    Pull the plunger through the inside of the transmission and remove the brake bands this way.


    Remove the shift lever.


    Remove the shift collar. Just use a quick jerk to free if from the output shaft.


    Remove the lock ring from the output shaft. Utilize your pliers once again. (These are paying for themselves!)


    If it is difficult to get the lock ring up the shaft you can put the housing in the vise as before. Luckily this lock ring slid right off after I got it out of the groove.


    Remove the output shaft from the housing.


    Remove the oil seal from the T20 housing.


    Remove the bearing lock ring. I found that the easiest way for me was to use two screwdrivers. One small one to get the ring out of the groove, and another slightly larger one behind the lock ring to slide it up. I would then walk the lock ring out of the groove as I went around the housing.


    Remove the bearing from the housing. Ideally it will fall right out but if your housing is scratched a little on the outside you may have to gently tap the bearing out from the inside.


    Now you can clean this half of the housing once again making sure to remove any residue left behind by the gasket or the oil seal.


    Now that you have every piece of the T20 apart pat yourself on the back. The hardest part is over. You should clean all of the parts really well and make sure not to get any dirt back in the transmission. Now let’s move on to the reassembly. We will begin with the first half of the housing that we tore apart (the right side without the center housing plate).

    • Rework an Early T20 to Accept Thrust Washers
      by whipper-ag
      I'm sure that some of you have opened up some Early T-20's & found them FUBAR. Once the gears start digging into the drum face, it doesn't take long to ruin the bearings, wear the bands down & cause excessive wear on the ring gear. Fortunately, all is not lost. In most cases, it can be modified to add the fiber thrust washers which are now used in the Late Model T-20's. Here's a video how to do it.

    • Max II T20 Split Shift Modification Video
      by LarryW
      This is a how-to video for making a split shifter for your T20. While I did the modification on my Max II, the same principals will apply on most Borg Warner Skid Steer T20 transmissions regardless of which ATV it is in. Instead of having one lever that controls shifting of both sides this mod will let you shift each side of the transmission independently allowing you to counter rotate. I even got to scare myself a little.

    • T20 Skid Steer Rebuild
      by Mike
      Borg Warner T20 Transmission Rebuild A large percentage of 6 wheelers utilized the Borg Warner / Skid Steer T20 transmission. While they are virtually indestructible when properly maintained many of these skid steer transmissions have been around for over 30 years. It is only natural that at some point in their life whether it is due to improper maintenance or old age, they will need new seals, bands, drums, o-rings, or bearings. This article will walk you through a tear-down and re...

    • Salsbury Clutch Rebuild
      by Don
      How-To rebuild your Salsbury Clutch Salsbury was a very popular brand of clutch system for many of the amphibious ATVs from the 1960s to around 1980 when they closed up shop. Attex, Hustler, Scrambler and Max used them on at least some of their models, and I'm sure more of the lesser known machines used Salsbury as well. Attex used model 910 for the ST400, Chief, Thunderchief and Superchief and the 780 for most of it's single cylinder two-strokes. I'll try and be clear on how to do a...
