combatmp29r 27 #2 Posted March 12, 2008 Wow that would be rough on our hills with that solid mount front axle. Here is ta link to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #3 Posted March 12, 2008 Joel He said it pivots like normal. But how do you shift? when you put a engine on top of the trans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
combatmp29r 27 #4 Posted March 12, 2008 Not sure Kelly. You would have to spin the pully opposite normal too with it mounted the way it is. Otherwise 1st on the rear would go forward, and 1st on the front would go bakwards. Hmmm I see an issue there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick 13 #9 Posted March 12, 2008 If nothing else that does give you some ideas, even if its what not to do. A few tweaks here and there and it might even work into a plan. How about a couple hydro powered transaxles that turn under the tractor like this? Youtube tractor video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #10 Posted March 12, 2008 It's deffinatley a differant design. The think I was wondering is the lack of clearance under that front case. But then it be no differant than a Lawn Ranger. I put it on my watch list...if nothing else it can be a good parts donor... How about a couple hydro powered transaxles that turn under the tractor like this Nick I have seen a those on ebay....I had no idea they turned that way & that sharp! Still dizzy from watching the vid too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #11 Posted March 12, 2008 I was thinking that at least it could give Ian some ideas on NOT what to do. But, Stephen is right, it would make a good parts tractor. Also, I think, that articulated Husqavarna is factory. They're more popular in Europe, but they have sold a few here in the states. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #12 Posted March 12, 2008 An interesting idea Im not quite sure what was going on in his head with the backwards mounted box though Be worth buying for the parts and building it the right way :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #13 Posted March 12, 2008 Did you guys forget my hydraulic-drive articulated C series (drawing) already? Two transaxles mounted so they're BOTH facing forward and placed in the same gear. (let's just say second ) Do the same steering knuckle modification to the front transmission as the one on ebay and drive them each with hydraulic motors controlled by the same direction control valve. (you could belt drive them so the ratios could be adjusted for smaller front tires.) The shifter of the front transmission would be out in front of the frame, so it could actually be operated if you needed to. (just cut it off so it's short) (sounds like too much work to me though! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
