I swapped out the old t-221 for a np205. I didn't move the transmission cross member. It appears the distance from the front of the bell housing to the center of the motor mount is a little short. The mounting adapter on the 205 is 2 1/4" longer than on the 221. Are there any problems with moving the front cross member forward a couple inches. I'm down to bare frame so it won't be hard to do, just don't want to run into trouble later.
