Racinbob 10,256 #4 Posted June 1, 2017 Now that's clever! Jim, Someday I'll have to tell you about the time I did the rope wrap thing to drive a well. It almost ended in disaster and not because it was a bad idea, it was pilot error. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,682 #5 Posted June 1, 2017 Funny you should mention that Bob.... I did the same thing with the belt PTO on an old Farmall! Worked good, I think Cindy took old school pictures will have to dig them out! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

r356c 375 #9 Posted June 3, 2017 One Mississippi , Two Mississippi ... Actually, these would make great robot chassis. From the land of Yazoo walk behind mowers. I still have mine after 28 years. 1 inch diameter saplings are a breeze with the old Yazoo. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W9JAB 156 #11 Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Necessity is the mother of invention. This is the American way! Reminds me of the story.......... An Air Force General at a joint meeting of Congress holds up a brick. Gentlemen, he said, you give me enough money we can make this fly.
