Well It's in there I redid the adjusters (Tranny) and put the clutch on the engine. Had to cut about 1/4" off the crank. I made a spacer also so the crank is good to go. Just a NOTE : The Duster Clutch is Only bored and keyed 1.1/4" inside so it will NOT slide all the way on the crank like the Salsbury style clutch
So anyway here is what I have so far. Let me know what you think ?mr.jpgml.jpgmf.jpgmb.jpgm mount.jpg

I don't think fitting the Kohler will be a huge problem. Mine has a Kohler 25 in it and it really doesn't look like the "fabricator" went to a lot of trouble to make things fit together, if you know what I mean.

Well I got m new clutch today and a new longer belt so Saturday after work is m test fit time. I am Hoping I can fit the Kohler in there ?
I have a 1" aluminum plate to mount it to so location is key. I will get pic's of the progress as it develops . Anyone know of Upgrades you can do to a Kohler 18 ?
Will keep you all posted

Thank you Mike
I Do have a Napa Belt book for the atv & snow Moble And thy list the Rec in there along with Attex and Hustler ? And I have a New Gates belt But I can return it unless someone here need it ( I get a real good deal through work !)
I just didn't realize how BIG this kohler was till I got it mocked up.
PLus if I can sell it I will put a 22hp Pred engine in it.
Also I need a Cltuch for a 1.1/8" crank and that alone is over half the price of the 22 pred
And at this stage I can go ether direction
As always I am open to input guys

I think I'd look for another belt that will work. You can take some measurements of the distance between your CVTs and give Roy at Quality Drive a call: Quality Drive Systems He will be able to find the closest belt that would work for you.

Well as most of you have found out you move one step forward and end up Three steps behind !
I Roughed in my tranny mounts and Cool adjusters and Really think it will hold up very well ! Then I mount the engine plate . It looks good to go !
Ok I lower the engine on it and Rough in my belt line up and my belt is WAY to small AND I can't slide the engine forward because it HITS MY TRANNY ADJUSTERS !!
So now I need a Longer Belt OR a Smaller engine. The Kohler 18 is MASSIVE !
At this point I am thinking of just selling it and looking into another engine .
So hear is my progress so far. NOTE: This is a Mock up NOT finish product.tm2.jpgtm3.jpgtm1.jpg

trans mount.jpgtrans mount 2.jpgStarted on making anew trans mount and still working on the chain adjuster .
See the trans pivot's on the front mount an adjusts at the rear to keep the Main chain tight to the rear drive axle.
