Then both wheels turn in the same direction if one wheel is turned. Edited February 3, 2022 by ranger 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep happens with every differential. Cars, trucks, tractors, etc. Unless they are full posi traction. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepdan 321 #6 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Yes, and when you lock the brakes up, and go skidding down a grassy slope, one wheel will be turning forward and the other in reverse. I'm going to come up with a plan to add brakes at each wheel. Edited February 4, 2022 by jeepdan 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
