Paul  do you or anyone have plans or directions for converting 2.17
redrive to 2.85  Tracey said I could buy the parts but no plans or
directions  I have local machine shop and can do some myself or might be
that some on news letter do the conversion if I can get this solved then
can look at one of the support plate as it sure looks very good

Thanks Keith

The problem is; you must get the power out of the planet
carrier and lock the ring gear. It takes a different
planet set to do that. The issue then becomes; is the housing
small enough in ID to lock the new ring gear? Take your
2.17 apart and measure the ID where the ring gear goes.
Let me know what that dimension is.
