I have a 24 hp BTLT. I spoke to a local mud buddy dealer and he mentioned about converting my motor into a surface drive. He said after I sell my frame I can convert it for around $1500. Has any one done this or know any thing about it? Any comments or ideas will help, thx. |

Its pretty straight forward. Take motor off old frame, attatch clutch and bolt to new frame. There are several who have done it and of you buy it working with a dealer I am sure it will work out. |

Trying to decide if it's worth it though, compared to selling it and buying a used 23. My 24 has 39 hours on it so it's hardly used |

23 and 24 will both perform the same, I would look at how much money you loose with both options and see what shape the used motor is in before I decided. You know what you are dealing with if you keep your motor. |

Can you convert a long tail with a 1" shaft? Or is everything an 1 1/8"? |

You would have to make sure the gear will fit; most are made for 1 1/8 shaft, but timing gears are made for 1 inch shafts also. It can be done for sure. |

they do make tapered pullies on mudbuddy that will fit a 1 inch shaft. i converted my longtail to a surface drive. i swapped engines because the old one was no more good. you will have to buy a 1 inch tapered pully, which is only 15 bucks. it will come with 3 screws to keep your pully tight. make sure you tighten 2 of the screws opposite eachother. then put the other screw in to hold it in place. also, make sure your pullies line up for you belt! hope this helps |

Or, to make it simple, you could get a timing belt pulley with a 1" ID and a keyway. I found a used one on Ebay for $20. But that was 1 1/2" belt, dont know what size youre planning on using. |
