Oh that.. forgot about it. blurry picture.. looks the steering column is bolted thru the frame. debating if better to use existing sulky bolt holes or having it welded on frame. Did those steering wheels actually steer from that wheel? Edited 4 hours ago by FLtractor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make the tongue extra long and fit a trailer bed on it to carry all the goodies bought at the shows. It would be like one of those long rear steering city fire trucks.

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,115 #8 Posted 4 hours ago The steering sulky front hitch mounts on the left and right sides of the tractor. This way the sulky and tractor stay straight and do not pivot but allow for up and down movement. The steering shaft turns the small pulley on the bottom that controls the crossed cable to the rear axle spindles. When you turn to the right the sulky steers to the left turning the 2-wheel tractor to the right with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
