Ariens Track Drive Conversion Kit (921 Series-16" Tires)

The kit certainly has all the parts just not all the correct ones.

If you followed directions (which were slim) you would use a shorter shaft, a fixed gear, and quite some time to finish the chore. And, you would lose Ariens new automatic turning system. So.

I used original 2 piece shaft/auto turn gear mechanism, and the higher speed pulley (which is still snail slow) to mount the track assembly. I had to get extra spacers (Tractor supply) to fill out the shaft. At least I now have the auto turn that these new models have.

Result.....the track adjustment now holds front end of the SHO 30" off the ground for transport. It was just too heavy for me to lift front end off ground (axle 1" too far back for wheel operation).
