Pullstart 67,100 #51 Posted April 11, 2019 I like your ATV drivetrain idea... but why would you lose reverse? Does the quad not go backwards.... or would you remove the transmission completely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does the quad not go backwards.... or would you remove the transmission completely? This ATV didn't come with reverse. There are some that do, like the Yamaha Raptor 700. UTVs have reverse, but they are all shaft driven and I haven't seen any at a cheap price. This is to be as low a budget build as possible. Either way I go, I can make money selling the engine I don't use. The Polaris 500 engines are listing for a grand on eBay and the Kohler new is almost 2K, so I should be able to build up my budget considerably. My concern is finding a pulley. I saw on ebay what is suppose to be on there and it looks nothing like the pulleys I looked at. They have a bolt that screws into the end of the PTO shaft. I'm guessing the set screw will keep it from walking on the shaft or should I have a collar on each side to prevent it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 67,100 #53 Posted April 11, 2019 I see, I’ve never ridden any 4 wheeled ATV without reverse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
