this is kind of cool having already done it , like retelling the story w/ a different perspective.
ADAPTING THE SPOOL-
the original HH was an older model so the frame was designed to hold the gear box. the gearbox on the older HH's are CN/ direct drive tranny combo.
i wanted this to be chain driven so i could play w/ sprocket/tire combos and gear changes.
i cut out the cradle that the tranny mounted to and the front and rear bars across where that cradle was located to make room for the sprockets and spool axle.
i needed enough space to accommodate up to a 45T sprocket. to do that i needed a bend in the rear cross member. G-ray had given me his HH spool and carrier from his HH/polaris 400 project when we tweaked his trailing arms and went to arctic cat A-arms.
here's some pics of that to explain.
