  • T20 Skid Steer Rebuild


    Clean the housing again paying close attention to the surface that the seal is against as well as where the main gasket used to be.


    Install the new bearing.


    Install the bearing lock ring by working it around the groove.


    Then tap it into place and make sure it gets completely in the groove.


    Tap the oil seal evenly into place.


    Again, an optional step that could save you trouble in the future, take a punch and ping the housing in four places to ensure that the oil seal doesn’t come back out.


    If you haven’t already, remove the old orings from the T20 brake band plungers.


    Install the first brake band in the T20 housing. It is the band with the anchor point on the bottom and the plunger on the top. Insert the plunger through the housing without the orings. Make sure that it is lubed up before you push it through. Again you may have to insert the bolt in the plunger and pull it from the outside.


    Liberally lube the plunger with vasoline. Coat the new o-rings with vasoline as well and install them on the plunger.


    Install the bolt and washer on the plunger so that it does not pull back through the T20 housing. Then push the plunger into the housing.


    Install the upper brake band in the same manner. This band should have the plunger on the bottom and the anchor point on the top.


    On the input shaft there is a small outer seal to replace. You just remove the old seal and then tap a new seal back into place. I used a large socket that fit over the input shaft to tap the seal evenly. Just be sure that the inner part of the seal doesn’t get caught on the input shaft and tear.


    Put the input and output shaft assemble back in the transmission housing.


    Reinstall the shaft retainer ring.


    Use those handy pliers once more to spread the retainer ring and get it in the groove.

    • 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.

      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...
