meadowfield 3,091 #1 Posted July 20 (edited) As I’ve always got so much time free and so many projects, the ideas as usual keep going round in my head. I’ve plans for quite a few designs and here is the next one that’s in design…. The little 400 is waiting for a hood and a paint job, in the meantime it might be getting an upgrade. hot on the heels of Ewan’s 704, I’ve a simpler idea to add 4 wheel drive to yet another Wheel Horse 😂 out comes the parts bucket, and the scrap pile is set to with an angle grinder, a welder and lathe! first stop a peerless transaxle diff with a sprocket added Then making a bearing carrier Shiny axle case Hub bearing and the start of the steering knuckle A finished swivel and UJ carrier, need to crack on with the other side!

meadowfield 3,091 #7 Posted July 30 (edited) A little more progress…. drive flange complete - I made it the same PCD as my sons 4x4. (only tacked at the moment - just in case something needs to change) one side done Edited July 30 by meadowfield 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 3,091 #8 Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Axle just about done - well the hard bit both drive flanges, knuckles and drive shafts in. first offering - its the same track and pivot point as the suburban axle at 16" between centres. what it might look like Edited 2 hours ago by meadowfield 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
