Something We All Need -Yeah, Right!

[Gearhead10]

Yea Bonehead you got it. Glad you posted a pic.Man I,d love to have one of those things, but I bet my neighbors wouldn't.

 

[Boltbreaker]

I instantly wanted one.

I am an idiot.

I still want one.

Me too.
Can I borrow yours if you buy one?

No way man. I never loan out my v8 barstools. If I had one with a 6 cylinder in it you could borrow that one.

I've seen em race on a dirt track,pretty cool. They had em do a 3 lap race during intermission one time. They got em geared pretty low so speed was not that impressive, but the sound now that was awsome.

Something about the size of a baseball diamond is what would work for a track, I think.
Sliding into second base takes on a whole new perspective. '22

 

[Gearhead10]

Hey, I agree on that Dodge.lol. A ball diamond would have made em look faster than on the 3/8 dirt track.

 

[maddog]

Still want one.
Still an idot.

Keep going back to the photos and thinking how much fun - trouble I could get into.... '22

A guy could build one for considerably less than $8-13K.

Anybody have any more info on the drive system? I see a chain with a sizable reduction in one of the pictures but there has to be some kind of right angle gear box and I would think some kind of differential.

Reverse? maybe belts? hydrolic?

How does it work?

It is a very nicely engineered item.

I just love a good distraction.

MD - - they have a hydrostat tractor gear box which drives two sprocket/chain driven axles - forward and reverse are controlled by the position of the left foot - - down for forward and up for reverse[ like on some riding lawnmowers ]

Now how do we get our wives to appreciate these things...If we built a V8 vaccuum...or a V8 blender maybe, just maybe they would get the obsession!?!!

Great, thanks lightning.

Oh boy, still stuck on stupid.

I'm not really sure about type,mfg but I have a Brother that works on and restores riding lawnmowers, in fact, doesn't Gastrick fool around with lawnmowers? He might have more of a idea of what to use. But either way I'll see what I can find out.
