Hey guys; anyone know what super quiet exhaust system was used on sweepster,also torque sensing clutch looks interesting, one other thing what steering box did ol Joe use on his cadets? Thanks Jim

Jim, not sure what they had in there for an exhaust. That torque sensing clutch caught my eye too, kinda like a snowmobile clutch. Not sure what steering gear Joe had in his two Cubs. I wish I would have paid more attention when I was talking with him. I seem to recall that one of them had a Chrysler steering gear.

Kraig McC,
I've seen that same torque converter on a number of 5-7HP go-karts & mini bikes, which leads me to believe it's a pretty good unit.
However - when considering them for a Cub - realize (it's in the fine print) that those Torque-A-Verter units are rated for a MAX of 8-HP....

Thanks Kraig. If you have a real interest in variable drives check wikipedia.org and Continuously_variable_transmission. My last post on this so I dont get smacked. (My Cub has a vari-xmission...its a HYDRO!)

Ryan, I just posted the link for Allen.....

....however keep in mind what we were discussing.... that transmission in the Sweepster Golf Cart brochure is for use on the Original Cub Cadet which only had a 7hp..... The later version that Charlie and I posted photos of wouldn't have had that transmission addition as it's a hydro.

Can somebody tell me who built the 407 379 r1 deluxe cab? And are parts still available for it?
Thanks Rick
