can't get my head around driving something like that

It's a bit odd for sure. I've driven different types of lifts and run cranes that were not controlled the same. 

Takes a little getting used to it but you'd be fine.

So two completely separate hydro units. Were they driven by a single "serpentine" belt or does one side have a dual pulley with a separate belt to the other hydro similar to a WH mower deck?

The engine has the double pulley. The pulleys on the hydro units are 1 in differant in hieght

Assuming you are thinking of a linkage that reorients the control movements. :D 

Thanks for sharing the progress and the pics.

Yes. I will be using a bell crank on each side

In case you hadn't gathered by the speed that I do projects I don't think fast is a huge issue for me. :lol:

The drive units are in. Now for the engine so I can get the jack shaft built. Next after that will be the linkages.

Did mother nature weld those hubs on?

Vertical jack shaft? 2 pulleys on top and one below for the engine?

I'm not sure yet if she has welded them or not. Yes 2 pulleys on top and one on the bottom. I may try and use part of the original engine pulley on the top

Update. Yes! Yes, she did. The puller is still on it. I tightened it up and walked away. Maybe it will pop by tomorrow afternoon

What are those little sprocket/gear thingys on the opposite side of the shaft for?

Parking brake or something?

Oddly enough we only make homemade ice cream in the winter....so.....maybe could be a thing.

What could be better for the launch party day?

The adults get their Mai Tai, the kids get vanilla, oldsckool says "hold my beer and watch this". :ychain:

 

Do you think it would crab walk if you reverse one and forward the other?

It might, if you park it sideways on a hill.

      Abrasive flap wheel. Install?
      By Oldskool
      Hey guys I have been given a box of these flap wheels.
      5.25" x 1.5" with a 1" arbor hole.
      I instantly thought great I can put one on my bench grinder. 
      Nope!    Not that simple.
      The arbor size is different, and it's to wide to fit inside the the guard.
      I thought of removing the guard but would like to have it there.
      I guess I could make an arbor adapter and a spacer for the guard,and a new tool rest,etc. More time involved then first thought.
       
      Does anyone use these, and if so what do you have it on?

      80s 211-3 mower deck manual
      By c100rider
      Hello fellas. I bought this 211-3 tractor. I have no clue how this mower deck comes off. I need to fix some areas on the deck, as well as replace a clutch cable. I can't seem to find pictures of a complete deck for this model as it should be. Need help.

      Custom golf cart
      By Oldskool
      I've had some stuff laying around for a while now. I've had some ideas kicking around my head for a while as well.
      Well they met each other a few days ago.
      This is going to be a camp buggy of sorts. 
      Like any of my other builds I would appreciate any input anyone want to donate.
       
      The base is an 1982-88 Yamaha G1 golf cart.
