building my own tracked vehicle

[midwestmadness775]

I am building this tracked vehicle. Im building it all out of 1 inch square tubing and I have a 14 or 15 horse honda motor im going to use. I have the plans for it but im not building it by the book. I want it to have a transmission with reverse. Anybody have any ideas on what to use for a transmission? I would like a t20 but they are expensive and I dont need something that tough. Any other pointers anybody can give me on building something like this?

My buddy has a junk polaris trail boss with a good transmission. I could use that but then I woild have to use a braking system to steer. Any suggestions?

I think I would hold out for a T20. You can find parts machines in the $300-400 range on Craigslist from time to time that have a T20. You can also find T20's on ebay and here on the forum from time to time in the same price range.

Good call, Mike! I second a T-20. It's the hands down, best AATV transmission ever made.

Never having used a T20 I can't speak to that....however I like my Hagen! ROFL

Wither would work for him...however it's a bit large for his application...both are actually.

May just want to build a forward back box and use a braking system to operate as skid steer with a differential
