[stig]

not only did he give me the torque converter but i got a bunch of different size sprockets and such and a super pocket bike x7 with a 110cc motor but it needs work.. all for a centrifugal clutch

thanks in advance

The back plate? Is your tc a comet 30?
You could set up a jackshaft or see if someone on this forum has one.

 

[stig]

yes the back plate, i believe its a 30 series

thanks for the info ill look into it!

 

[r_chez_08]

I tried searching for the back plate but nothing came up to buy. You could post a wtb add in the for sale section.

I believe the CD is 7" so you could actually assemble your own JS as long as it is 7" from PTO to JS center.

I am pretty sure I just bout one off craigslist. ( the whole TC for like 100) is this it (http://www.mfgsupply.com/m/c/218354A.html?mv_pc=Froogle) Looks kinda like that? Same cover but I believe the back plate is just a tad different. If you need pictures or any dimensions Ill do my best to help.

[stig]

You probably got a tav1, as i think the only difference is the tav2 has a cast back plate.

i think its a 20 series.. on the driven it says

comet industries Richmond Indianan

then there are 3 holes numbered 1 2 3

and a 20


here are pics of it

 

[redsox985]

20 means nothing. IIRC, it is the incline of the driven cam. My CAT99 TC, the pre-30 series asymm. TC, has that as well. Are the faces of the TC cut for a symmetrical or asymmetrical belt? That's the same backplate that I have, although you could probably set up a separate JS for the driven to be mounted on that would be cheaper than the backplate.

 

[stig]

yeah i was thinking of making js.. its asymmetrical belt

 

[redsox985]

The driven could have a number stamped into the outside of the spring side. If it says 3/4" then your driver is most likely also a 30 series. It would be an older CAT99 if it's made for a 5/8" belt.
