141 to 162?

[dean_jimmy96]

Hey guys i was looking at extending my track on the mount max, was looking to stick a 159 on it but i seen they have a new kit for a 162 i was curious does the machine have enough power to turn a 162? I know you would have to gear it and clutch it

done correctly, it will easily pull the 162. problems you will encounter will be track fitment unless you drop and roll the chaincase, assuming the 162 is the 3" pitch. lug height may need to be altered along with new drivers. next issue to consider is the tunnel extension and making it rigid and strong all the way to the bumper. fun project. simpler and cheaper going 151-159, or anywhere in between.

Stick with a track that has the same pitch, the MM700 came with small 8 tooth drivers. Changing to a 162 3"pitch would be alot of extra work. I had a MM700 with pipes, reeds, and head and it turned a 151 with no trouble.

Went with a 159 extension and it turned out great! Found a 2 inch 159 2.52 pitch track for a good deal, pressed on some no slip drivers and she runs like a top
