- After some error and more error I figured out the not so right way to install the torque converter on my Harbor Freight Predator 212. A few things I learned is you do need that spacer and the belt may have been place on back wards in one of the takes but has been flipped back around. The belt has a flat side on one side, that is the side that goes toward the engine side.
Awesome. If I ever want to completely screw up a torque converter install on one of my engines, I will be sure and watch this video.
Looks like the belt was on backwards at the end. It is asymmetrical. One side beveled and the other at 90 degrees. Flat side goes towards the motor.
Those mistakes just prove you're human. Like most of your viewers.
Good, honest video!
Holy crap dude, I cant believe you ever got it together. Wow.
This guy makes amazing videos. He's like the Bob Ross of mechanical videos.
He put the whole thing on wrong bro
except done 100% incorrectly.
I appreciate you showing all the errors as well. Good vid.
That bronze ring you put over the front pulley is actually so the belt doesn't wear on the spinning pulley, The brass just sits there and doesn't spin while the pulley shaft is spinning, It keeps your belt from wearing in 1 spot while you're idling.
This video is about how to install a torque converter???? No...this is a video of how to "Not" put on a torque converter!
I guess none you DIY remember flipping rings , forgetting to put oil plug until you see oil running Down the driveway or putting a pistons backwards. I've done it all and I can't say it was 2AM or after a few "BEERS". So to all Dad trying to show their sons not to be afraid of getting dirty or be the 25yo millennial standing by his car wringing his hands hoping a savior will stop. Good job ! Bro. Been there done that.
Sorry to say buddy but those guys are totally right about the spacer and the belt... Its all good tho, trial and error is how you learn... The pulleys absolutely MUST be in alignment and the belt MUST be put on in the right direction.
There's alot of great content on youtube, and then there's this. You've done a disservice to all interested parties by uploading to youtube.
Luved it !
Just got mine . Install tomorrow.
Don't listen to this guy he forgot a couple parts go to red beards garage
I just bought the exact same rig, as a basket case. The 4 ribbed spacer is missing except for 1/2"at the outside end. The bronze bushing is also missing and the springs surrounding the 2 "shoes". Do these items sell in parts kits?
very helpful, thanks....
He put it on wrong go over to red beards garage
Why they don’t supply stud vs the bolt to mount it on? That engine vib a lot
I have a predator motor I measured the belt 6 and 3/4 what size belt is that
Thank you for the video you probably saved me a headache when I get my torque converter, lol. Well how did it work out, what did you put it on?
Use blue thread lock on the bolts. The vibration will work them out.
you need to edit this vid ,,, you left off a steel spacer ring , the second part that should have went on to stop that back plate from hitting the 4 mounting bolts ! Good Luck !
Where can I get torque converter and clutch kit and how much
You’re a silly guy bud, why’d you not look it up first! 😂
Is there any way to mount the torque converter horizontal I cannot lift the engine one inch. Maybe a little grinding and drill new holes?
There are multiple bolt patterns you can use. Can you face the sprocket pulley to the front of the engine? If not grinding might be useful. Raising the engine monting plate up is also an option.
Thanks
Hello. What's the point and where to buy it? thank you in advance
www.gopowersports.com/tav-30-75-torq-a-verter-comet-after-market-replacement/ Sorry for the wait. This link will give you all the information you are looking for. Please let me know if this did not answer your question.
Il buy the one inch
Tnq so much
Like looking up instructions on youtube...nice!
Belts on backwards !
Do you have to install it in that orientation? Or can you have the torque converter pointing down or the opposite way?
Technically no, thats why there is 6 holes on each "corner", though the top 3 and the bottom 3 are for diffrent engine sized mounting holes
And technically you CAN have it to the left over the right hand side (as he had it), but you likely will run into chain clearance issues due to the fins on the mounting plate. Hard to explain, but...yeah. If you put the chain on going horizontal to the left more (or the chain going straight up), then it wouldnt have issues, but....what are you doing that the chain will be like that?

Here is a link to a video that you can see how he grinded those fins away to allow it to go that way it, in case you havent found it
You didn't have tje spacers on the back pull .it will grind the housing..and the belt has a tapered side for the pully
GOOD VIDEO WE all make mistakes am I right or left.
Right
U should have that metal spacer
Man, you can't put a square hole in a round peg !
The bolts that came with my torque converter won't work on my 212 Predator, wrongs threads...
The correct threads are 5/16-24 ... 1 inch long... I just had that problem lol
Buenos días mi estimado cuanto cuesta ese variador de velocidad gracias
Will this work on 79cc predator engine?
Desirey & Taylor Channel No
ruclips.net/video/7-ckbQulqhk/видео.html
Desirey & Taylor Channel do you boo, if it doesn’t fit up don’t come to me boss.. make sure when you order it it’s meant for the shaft size of the 79cc engine. I’ve never really seen tourqe converters on 79cc ones mainly on the fact that there made for 212’s... also make sure you have the bolt mounting patterns on your engine! As well it wouldn’t hurt to buy a extra belt.
@@peytonthomas4506 thanks for the advice I'm going from 80cc 2stroke to 4 stroke whole new build seeing what I need
Desirey & Taylor Channel ah nice I much rather prefer a 4 stroke over a 2 stroke!
Is a 30 series torque converter too small for a 301 predator
Jason May no but anything over that you would have to get a 40 series
No
A 301 predator has a 1" shaft , the 30 series torque converter is made for 3/4 shafts....
@@jacobsebastien3910 Didn't you watch the video? He originally ordered a TC for a 1" shaft by mistake. You can use a 30 series on a 301 if you order one for a 1" shaft.
"I don't know how, but let me make a video about how I think"
Got lots of smile
Could’ve used a shaft adapter I use this converter on my 79cc
It really pisses me off that he is bolting the bolts at a Square pattern and not an x pattern
Why is the belt already tight and the engine isn’t even running? That’s not going to work well at idle
I am a Bangladeshi How can I purchase this product?
from amazon
Reverse?
You can put the complete driver on as 1 peice instead of multiple peices just so you know man.
?? how the fug do you install that chain over the belt ???
Connecting link..
@@garthnewman5859 not every chain has a connecting link, but mostly it's called a Master Link and it's used to take off chains. Be sure to get a Chain Breaker.
I wishigot comet because amazon converter sucks ,it locked up rear wheels at 45mph
It’s bad enough he doesn’t have any idea what he’s doing but he has a video showing what not to do.
He put the belt on backwards
No spacer
How not to install a torque converter
Stop! STOP! PLEASE JUST STOP ALREADY LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cambodia $$$
Son of a bitch..
Why would you embarrass yourself and show the mistake you made to the entire world? Its call editing . WTF?
Dude, buy a torque wrench
Why even do a video on something you don't know how to install at least watch a. Couple videos before doing the video at least make it seem you know
So many mistakes.
I guarantee I can install it worse
*torque-A-verter...torque converter is a car part
You reaaaaallly should have just edited out the first 5 or so minutes of nonsense that nobody wants to see.
not very confidence inspiring , gonna have to block your channel.
All this Chinese crap has piss poor instructions. It's like they don't give a shit if it works or not.
.........don't know what to say besides you did this video knowing absolutely nothing could've attempted to educate yourself before failing to teach others or could've at least edit out your mistakes at least your honest in the description "how not to install it"

What's the brass bushing do?mine got turned to dust is it important?
I believe the brass bushing helps with letting the belt slip at idle speeds. If your bushing is warn out how did your belt look?
Yea the bushing makes the belt not wear so fast
And don't listen to him he put it on qr9ng go to red beards garage
