Chain drive question

[whistlerhawk]

I'm looking at some info about converting the belt drive/TLS to a chain drive. I have a 2008 with the 159" track. Lots of hill climbing and the TLS constantly ratcheting...there has got to be a better way with a chain. I know someone 'out there' has done a successful conversion to chain drive. Can you give me some guidance or better yet, there are 2 of us here that would be willing to buy the set-up if someone has already figured it out...

We have hunderds of rachet free riding on a 530 o-ring based chain drive. The initial install is kinda spendy, but once converted a new chain and sprocketed is about the same price as a new cog belt. Changed the top shaft to 4140 steel and did some research on industrial taper lock sprockets. found them to fit the shafts, walla chain drive. $800.00 and I'll make you a kit that will bolt right on.
