Torque Convertor for VT-1012 Trail Bronc

[KenZ]

Well it's time to start ordering parts to put this basket case together.
For a non-jackshaft driven left hand side sprocket Trail Bronc, what it the ideal torque convertor model to use.
I want to go with a genuine Comet model.
This is what I have found that uses the #40 chain on their web site. https://www.mfgsupply.com/218353a.html
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ken

From what I'm seeing the 30 series is for up to 8 hp, I currently have an 8.5, but may look into a 10hp should I find one. Didn't the Heald factory also use 40 series?

Yes...

30 series or 40,series is fine. But then what are you going to,do for a rear brake?

I'm doing a modified version of this. Dual piston caliper with hydraulic hand brake left side.

I got the Torque converter ordered today, spoke with the gal at MFG Supply, she gave me the phone number for the Comet factory rep.
He was pretty knowledgeable about the Super Bronc. Said you can do the series 40, but it's kind of overkill, the factory put the 30 on for years with no problem and the ratios are correct. So I have one coming on the Brown Truck of Happiness.
