Oh, and the inside of the frame there is gonna need some added support, its a bit flimsy from the bit i cut out. ![MTD - "Budgie" - Page 5 20180740](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20180740.jpg) | |

| I'm liking this horizontal shaft conversion so far. Seem like the hardest part is building the clutch. Routing the belt seems pretty straightforward. | |

| Definitely. Hopefully these 3 idlers and the one jackshaft pulley isnt too much for it. It's not too bad when i roll it over, but I'll only really know when i get it running lol. It certainly won't be too much for a gx390... | |

| Reusing the vari drive for the clutch and adding in a couple of idlers seems like a solid way to get rid of that belt twist. I hope you find a belt that works. | |

| Clutch linkage yay ![MTD - "Budgie" - Page 5 20180763](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20180763.jpg) ![MTD - "Budgie" - Page 5 20180764](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20180764.jpg) Normal operation yay ![MTD - "Budgie" - Page 5 20180765](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20180765.jpg) Hmmmm jam the clutch pedal all the way down to the tire and it kinda inverses the clutch action. Kinda cool that that happens but i dont wanna die so it'll get a clutch stop i guess ![MTD - "Budgie" - Page 5 20180766](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20180766.jpg) I stole mutts belt and it kinda works but the belt wont really stop, even if i start her in gear. Makes for fun situations. Guess I'll be getting her an inch or two bigger belt than mutt uses. | |
