Hi all

Just a quick question regarding livedrive dextas...

What is needed to convert non-live-drive to livedrive?

Thanks

Everything from the flywheel backwards to the rear axle except the housings. Not really an economic proposition unless you have a donor tractor.

Yes, you need a new flywheel adapter, clutch, clutch thrust bearing and hub and clutch linkage for a start
