Man, that thing is neat! Think that 9" will hold up to the abuse that your Kohler or Predator will put through it? Haha!

 

I'm curious on your clutch setup. How'd you get it to work? Also, what are you using for a master cylinder?

 

Definitely would be cool to run around on at car shows or swap meets.

The belt tightener is a swing arm on the  transmission. It a 60's and 70's take of on a 30"s design called the "Power Pup" it's on the internet.  I made a few design changes with a lot more gearing then the original.

That a 8" rear end out of a 70"s Cougar that had 302 engine. The rear end was shorten to 48" out side of the brake drums. The design had had a few more additions since this picture. I have it apart right now to add a new bushing to the swing arm. The first bushing was just a make do with some aluminum flashing.
