i messed it up

[mirrocraft]

ok heres the deal i broke 2 bands at one time as you may have read before well now i have gotten it back to gether and i must have messed soemthing up everything is backwards i have to pull back to drive farward and push farward to go back to turn i have to let one go as pulling the other back backwards from when i originaly took it apart any ideas what i did could i have put the drums on the wrong side or bands backwards any ideas i for got to add its a t-20 in a 95 max II

sounds like you put the bands in backward IE: lefts in the right and rights in the left, thus hooked from their anchor to the wrong plunger

Mirrocraft. I wouldn't drive it like it is any more, since the parts may not be clearing properly now and you could maybe do more damage? If you put the drums in backwards, or reversed the bands, it would do this. I am not sure if both are possibilities, never tried. Did you use this article?

If you match yours up to the pictures, you'll have it in no-time

6x6 is right: don't drive it like that, you'll score your drums and destroy the bands. It seems the same to me that Racer and 6x6 said- the bands are reversed.

i was hoping you'd chime in on this one Don. your way more of an expert on t-20's than me, but that's the only thing i can possibly think of

[Don]

I'd hate for someone to spend all the money on parts just to ruin them in a short time. I put the bands in wrong on one of the first T20s that I ever did and it acted the same way. Lucky for me, I straightened it out before it ruined anything, but a friend of mine wasn't so lucky when it happened to him: scored drums and twisted bands with only a little run time on them.

well i have it appart i didnt tear nothin up but one thrust bushing i am going to go to napa and see if i can match them up i have some on my tractor that seen to be the same so ive gone back and forth on the how to but dont see how to identify the brums from left to right

[Don]

The drums are the same (one ring gear and one that holds the planetaries on each side) but the bands are right and left. Glad you didn't ruin anything and cost yourself extra parts.

[mirrocraft]

well i called route 6x6 and they are sending me the parts i need man they are great out there i have my bands back in and one side back together loks better already originaly i seen some band over lap the second brum a bit this time no overlap im just sitting at the window watching the mail now i will up date when parts get here a huge thanks to route6x6 they are life savers

[mirrocraft]

well thank you to every one for the help i have it back to gether and its working great i have got it stuck in my back feild at the moment but its running great and drives like a charm pulls a little to the left but im guessing thats just me haveing to ajust the bands out a little better

[6X6]

pulls a little to the left but im guessing thats just me haveing to ajust the bands out a little better

Possibly need an air pressure adjustment, little more in left or little less in right. Glad to hear your going again. If you don't get stuck, your not trying.
