You would automatically get your high and low range. When the engine rpm is low the clutch has about a 3.5 to 1 under drive and at high rpm it offers some overdrive, (@ .80 in to 1 out)Also they automatically back shift to a lower ratio when the load is increased or the rpm drops (engine is over loaded) They offer a wide range of springs and weights to tune it to meet your needs. <a href="http://www.hoffcocomet.com/comet/aftermarket-torque-converters.asp" target="_blank">http://www.hoffcocomet.com/comet/aftermarket-torque-converters.asp</a>I can't see why that would not be a good choice for this loaders. The driven clutches for the 94 series where used on JD snowmobiles and could likely be found at sled wreckers at a reasonable price. The drive clutch would likely have to be purchased new as it must be designed to fit the 4 stroke crank and tuned for the much lower rpm of a 4 stroke.Ken</blockquote>
