Given the fact that you have gear reduction, do you have multiple steering wheel turns locked to lock? No not really, feels like a regular tractor steering, other than I don't have stops on it. You do need to keep your hands on the wheel all times cause if you hit a bump it will turn. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,203 #29 Posted November 6, 2020 I zoomed in a bit on @jeremi3210’s tricycle and noticed the stout U joint on the steering shaft. Any modifications up-shaft to keep it all stable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any modifications up-shaft to keep it all stable? Just a good bronze bushing in the dash, and couple of extra set screws in the block bearing to hold it in place. Been working good for 5 years or so. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am going to try tomorrow I think it will definitely no problem it’s pretty quick in third gear... I would definitely highly recommend one of these motors if you can find one they sound so cool would be real neat in a puller 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rp.wh 1,103 #35 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) lol Here is some pictures it’s far from done but it runs and drives finally I haven’t pulled a plow behind it yet but it my Chevy all around the yard last weekend sense I haven’t ran it in awhile battery’s where dead figured it was a awesome test to see if belt would slip and not a chance will be putting different rear tires on it I think 10.50 have to make a belt guard for it learned my lesson almost immediately put it in gear drove it about 3 feet and wrapped my pants in the pulley oops all is ok except the pants.. fun tractor different to drive and sounds awesome IMG_0852.MOV Edited November 19, 2020 by Rp.wh 2 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,885 #36 Posted November 19, 2020 Sounds wonderful!! Is it sharp or "barky"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremi3210 735 #37 Posted November 19, 2020 Looks and sounds great Ryan! Mines a drives a little different also I think its the nature of a narrow front. How does it do over bumps? Mine can handle them as long as you hold the steering wheel. If you don't it will turn on ya! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It isn’t terrible I feel more comfortable holding the steering wheel over bumps hah it really rides like a big narrow front tractr, really bouncy light front.... I think it is alittle fast in third gear also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
