scramblerss

Action age scramblers had a electric reverse that was optional, from the factory

ah, your the one who bought that!!! Welcome aboard. I believe 20hp would be fine. Probably better on it then a 440 sled engine.

I also just purchased a scrambler 1200 project aatv. Although mine is in need off more work Im afraid. Good luck with yours!!!

I just got done putting a 18hp briggs in mine. I just need to hook the fuel tank up and it should be good to go. As for Reverse I would say put a t-20 in there or ive heard of people using starter motors for it, but I have not done that myself.

Or an apex trans like the have/ had in early hustlers, alsport trackers, and coots too

That is awesome. Make sure you post all about it. Picture too.

Where did you find it?

reverse was a factory option
it uses a starter motor on one of the 2 clutch plates

I have heard it wasnt a good design, teeth stipped out easily when not carefull and expecially if you tried to turn in reverse.

[atvrider93]

yes they do, mine came pretty rounded and messed up, gonna need some grinding
