  • Easy T-20 split shifter Guide

    This is on a 94 Max II
    18hp Briggs and Stratton

    You will need:
    Grinder
    Welder


    I got all my parts from tractor supply.
    Parts List:
    -1/2x1x2 inch steel bushing (anything will work but the inside diameter needs to be 1/2in)
    -1/2in steel pipe (hollow or solid, you only need about a foot)
    -shift knob of your choosing, I haven't found a matching one yet.
    -2 1/2in inside diameter spacers/washers (the think ones)



    Start by cutting the cross shaft. I cut mine an inch and a half from the shift lever. Clean up the rough edge at the cut.

    Weld the spacer on leaving 1 inch of the cut shaft exposed, I did this because my connecting spacer is 2 inches long.

    Slide the thick washer and the spacer on the other shaft and push them together for a good snug fit. Spot weld washer in place.
    Finish your weld on the bench.

    Cut 5.5 inches of pipe, stand the existing shifter up in a vertical position, and weld the pipe on to match the angle of the existing one.

    Apply some grease inside the sleeve spacer, and reinstall.
    While reinstalling, I took the spacers out of the bands that hold the linkages in place out to get a tighter fit. I also added grease.

    • 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...
