motor is on its way a jlo 295 single 2 stroke from shane will post our attemt to place it in the roughrider and bearings should be here a the end of the week

[thongg64]

engine arrived from shane today getting ready and ordered the bearings from the big bearing store in menphis tn all 12 bearings cost 88.85 shipped i sent them one of each and they had them will have those by fri found some used tires and looking at some atv rims for them the fun continues lol

[thongg64]

went and looked at the project we had to rotate the engine jug and piston and installed the old engine mount at we were able to use the carb angle bracket from the old engine getting the axles out is the project of the day and getting the new bearings on body is very old and getting 10 inch rims for the tires next week all the chains are in good condition once the rust is off will post some new pictures thanks again for the help to all

I was wondering if that could work in a terra tiger?? (95 Polaris Scrambler 400 4x4 transmission)?????

I don't think you have the steering setup in your 'Tiger, do you? You'll still need to find a way to transmit the power to the left or right set of wheels to steer. I think it would be a similar amount of work to fabricate and install the tranmission from the Polaris vs. dropping in a T-20. A T-20 will give you forward, reverse, and steering in one nice little package. Low maintenance, parts are readily available, and stone-simple to work on.... Joe M. put a T-20 in his Scrambler, and so did Jerseybigfoot.... I'll try to find links....
