It will make a difference whether it's a 297, ST300D, or ST295. Does it have a T20 or Baker/Hill transmission?

t-20

If the engine is original, you most likely have an ST295 or a Wild Wolf. They both take a Gates 6086 or Dayco HP3029.

Ok thanks Don!! I used to have a sc 500 and a wild wolf but the wild wolf had an abs body.This one has a poly body!!when it warms up I will investigate this further and try to find the serial number!!! I think I got some pics posted a few minutes ago.

Cool. The engine must be a transplant- as far as I know, Attex never put a 295 JLO in a Poly bodied machine. Even so, it's not a bad combination and should be great.

I wonder if that could've been a Spirit. That would have been a real easy engine swap- they came with a G25A Xenoah: basically, half a Superchief engine. It looks a little orange, and the only Spirits I've ever seen have been 76s (bodies turned kinda orange after a while). That would be interesting to find out.

I was thinking the same it may have been a spirit. They were sold with no reverse and the put block outs on those. Most people cut them off when they got them or shortly there after as the t-20 was still capable of reverse. Look for signs of those block-outs and you will know for sure. I wonder if George has a picture of the remains on the Spirit he has.

Just a note, it's got Argo tires on it. That's an indication it could have come from someone with multiple machines. As I posted in the new members thread, it could be a re powered Superchief, Spirit, or Tomahawk. It could have also been a rebodied Wild Wolf. Check the serial number on the frame rail above the right rear sprocket and please let us know what it is.
