New to me Cougar 2 Works
I picked this up off of craigslist for a pretty good price. Overall its in ok condition, but the top shaft of the transmission is really jacked up. I dont expect to turn this into a shelf queen, but I would like to make it into a runner.

Re: New to me Cougar 2 Works
I think your motorplate needs looking at, the motor screw slots should be horizontal not vertical
Re: New to me Cougar 2 Works
I have the same gearbox and the slots are vertical, what's up with that?

Re: New to me Cougar 2 Works
I'm sort of new to vintage Schumachers so I have no idea. As soon as Richieflax mentioned it I tried to find some pics of other motorplates but couldnt find any.
Re: New to me Cougar 2 Works
The vertical slots are correct! It has to do with the clearance of the motor. The gearbox is elongated compared to stock cougar 2 so there is not enough horizontal play for the motor to use different pinions. Mine is the same way.

You got alloy rollers too. You lucky dog. I have one set but I am so afraid of shearing off the plastic ends that I have not even put them on. I run the plastics because they are a dime a dozen. One of the best looking buggies of all time IMO.

Re: New to me Cougar 2 Works
I'll probably start tearing it down this weekend. I'm already gathering part numbers. I'm hoping that with the help of ebay and the nice folks here on rc10talk, I can get her running soon.

Re: New to me Cougar 2 Works
Are those alloy eccentrics I see? I cant tell if they are alloy or white plastic.

Re: New to me Cougar 2 Works
Cougar 2 WORKS are tha bomb!
The Cougar2 is my all time favourite 2WD but the works has all the good stuff!
Seriously hard to find a genuine original in good condition now days.

They pop up occasionally on Ebay.co.uk but often sellers dont post outside of UK.
