T-20 question

[JRP3]

Tried this in General but never got an answer so I'll try it here. A question on the T-20, is there any gear reduction in it or is it just 1:1? I'm trying to get an idea of what sort of gearing I need. Also, is there any gear reduction from the T-20 drive gears to the axle driven gears, or is that also 1:1?

I have a manual containing the specs of the T-20, but I have to find it. It's somewhere around the house, but I think, the ratio is 5.22:1, or 6.22:1. When I find the manual, I'll let you know for sure.

I'm not sure if the t-20 has what you're considering a gear reduction. The clutch moves faster than the drive sprockets on it. As far as the gearing change from the t-20 to the axles, there is a reduction. The sprockets (on the axle) that are attached to the t-20 are larger than the rest of the axle sprockets. I think the manufacturers adjusted this size to give a good ration depending on the engine. Hope this helps
