JoeM 9,980 #1 Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Always looking at equipment for unusual engineering, found this chain drive steering on a Steiner 3 wheel tractor on FBM today. I seen others having a similar setup but found it interesting how it was under the hood and between the engine.

We had a 3 wheel Cushman Truckster at the golf course. It would do close to 40 and if you turned the wheel too sharp on wet grass you went for quite a ride! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think the engineers made the steering wheel shaft capable of adjusting the chain tension? Here is some more interesting stuff on this model--it’s a two way! https://www.facebook.com/hartmansteiner/posts/as-we-promised-heres-some-more-photos-and-info-on-the-steiner-3-wheeler-produced/2952810881478032 Edited 27 minutes ago by Handy Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
