i have a Rockwell two cylinder two stroke engine out of a Massey Ferguson snowmobile and i was thinking about building a 6X6 but i was wondering what i could do about turning clutches i was thinking bout belt clutches and brakes but was wondering what you guys think

Do a search for "T-20" and I'm sure you will find what you might be looking for. There are a lot of different ways to steer and brake, but the T-20 is by far the most preferred on this site.

I would find a good t20 transmission.

[wjg1000w]

looks like the t-20 is what i want just a few questions
could it handle the horsepower of a 440cc Rockwell
where could i find one to get in Iowa
what kind of part are available
what are the sprockets
sorry for alll the questions but im completely new to all of this

[coosaridgerider]

The t20 can handle it with no problem,Parts are easy to get new or used.I am sure there are a few for sale around the site.What type frame are you planning on using.

[wjg1000w]

im planning on welding a square tubing frame together and covering the frame with plywood
and 25 12 9 tires

[coosaridgerider]

WHAT......I think i have seen one of those???????

[wjg1000w]

it is very looseley based on some old plans from popuklar science but theres alot of differances when you get down to it http://www.vintageprojects.com/go-ka...ix-wheeler.pdf

Is that an amish 6x6.

[brushcutter]

Yeah, I think Mudbug posted something about those plans a couple years back. Was that you Dave? I know we talked about them for sure.

[wjg1000w]

i dont know if its amish but its looks relativeley easy enough to make and thanks for the advice on the t 20 that looks to be the best option

My hustler has this setup, atm its too loud and hot but that will be fixed. For pics look at new fixer upper in hustler aatvs

Do you plan on fiberglassing the plywood?

[wjg1000w]

i was thinking just strait plywood covered with rustoleum

[coosaridgerider]

Get you a flat bottom aluminum boat and make a 6x6 out of that.That would be cool and very doable.

I might have, but I can't remember what I posted 2 yrs ago. I have a problem remembering what I posted a week ago.
