| Or a horizontal shaft opposed  Looks good so far Rich! Hopefully the belt setup doesn't cause too much of a headache, haha. _______________________________________________ "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Allis B-110, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655 & 953 - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford LGT 125 & 145 - |

| Put a torque converter between the 2300 and the Engine! Then you have really high rpm range! |

| An oppy would be kinda heavy for what I want. Although its really that I dont have one lol.
And hell no. No torque converters for me. I'll stick with something i know works, and won't slip underwater, thanks. |

I'd go with a torque converter, because you can't really shift a 2300 in motion very easily. So with the planned pulley swap you are not going to have too much torque in a high gear. But it would slip a ton under water. |

| Well they are an old sliding gear trans, but the one side of the gears on the main shaft have a bevel on them, which helps. The 600's, 1200's, and 2300's all have very similar gear clusters, shift shafts, etc. _______________________________________________ "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Allis B-110, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655 & 953 - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford LGT 125 & 145 - |

| Spent some time getting her running today. Just had to gap the points, really. She's still kinda iffy but better than before. Also the fuel valve doesn't leak like i think it did, which is good. The muffler was on there before. Thinking of using the flange i made for mutt for the exhaust on her though. That'd be kinda nice for taking it all apart   Oh, and if I'm not working tomorrow i suppose I'll take the dash and shifter gate off to get better access to the belt system and get on the belt system, maybe |

| I like the metal fuel line too and definitely go with the flange. That makes things easier to work on and change. |
