I know this is a long shot.... I have an 80's Starcraft popup trailer I'm tearing down to make a custom toy hauler. I want to get the hydraulic brakes working again but I know very little about this thing and parts/info seem scarce. It has a Bendix SUR ACT III actuator (Part# 2765126). Its...

...or see if a 3/4" pto crank is available to swap in. I would recommend against an adapter like the one linked to, that'll push your cvt unit away from the engine making it more difficult to mount and keep perfectly straight. The crank has to be pulled to machine it anyhow and for my...

A replacement 1" pto crankshaft is on it's way, backordered so it could take a few weeks. I plan on running a Comet 40 series cvt and I'll post pics when there's progress. Thanks for the help guys, my 9hp Dingo is coming along...unless I find a Baja Heat or Warrior to trade for before I start...

Exactly what I needed to hear, thank you toystory_4wd!

I looked up Noram clutches. They look like good parts but after considering purchase price, operating cost and the gearing benefits of the cvt I'm still thinking I want a cvt for this build. Thanks for bringing them up, good to know about for future reference. Does anyone know if disc type...

I called some local shops and found the one that's willing to help. A guy there is contacting B&S to try to find me another crank with 3/4" or 1" pto. Here's the problem: using my engine's model number the parts system will only show the factory spec crank for that engine, a taper shaft...

I agree, tc is a misnomer but everyone uses it so I don't see it going anywhere. I thought using cvt might be going out on a limb so I've been using tc here. Comet 40 series cvt is available with 1" bore drive clutch. I think my existing crank is 15/16 taper but its <1". I can either replace...

Manco Dingo go kart 6.5hp B&S OHV engine 10t Hilliard cc 54t live axle Needs throttle cable, exhaust and one front rim. Starts on first pull, runs very well, does almost 40mph. I wanted to build a 9hp kart with it but I'd rather build a 9hp Baja if I can find one. I can drive to meet halfway...

Thanks for your reply. I'm looking more for torque than high end, this kart is my dirtlot drifter. I looked at Comet tc's and http://www.mfgsupply.com/gomini/gominiclutch/gominiclutchtorq.html says the tav is for smaller 3-6hp applications. I was thinking about getting the 40 series for...

I've got a Manco Dingo currently running a b&s 6.5hp with a Hilliard centrifugal clutch. Its a blast but its just not enough for me. I also have a 296cc 9hp briggs vanguard engine with generator shaft begging to go on the kart. I am wondering, can I put a 1" pto crank in there or should I...
