Interesting, now I want to look at one. About ten years ago there was a Argo type 6 wheeler with rear axles very close and front axle a little ahead. The front wheels steered in a light (high speed) turn but when you turned hard, brakes were applied and you skidded around like a dozer.
I've also been collecting parts for a similar project. I could make 4 or 5 now, lol. Just gotta git my sh...act together!!!!!
So it's a hydraulic motor and wheel hub in one wow, never seen something like this. Neat!DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 1:50 pm

like this mounted on a spindle each side for the front axle with the 400 series diff in the rear

@thebuildist not sure if you mean to put a hydraulic motor directly to the wheel somehow, but you then lose the ability to have two speed ranges right?
@Jancoe sounds interesting yet I don't really understand it. Never seen a scissor lift up close.
@DavidBarkey do you mean a rear axle in front and rear? Like an articulated tractor?
Building an articulated tractor has been on my mind in the past, in part because of the desire of having traction on both rear and front axles. But it seemed to me that you need a stronger engine and hydraulic pump for something like this.
