That's a new one on me. I'd think the torque tube would snap.

Never seen anything like that before. I know G's have been modified for a number of purposes but that's a new one. I'd think the little Continental engine would have a tough time moving that thing. Maybe it doesn't weigh as much as it looks. |

Maybe, and i am just going with a maybe, the weight distribution is such that there is not that much torque on the torque tub. I would think the clutch would suffer more than the motor.

It isn't something you see everyday. I somewhat disagree with Floyd. I think the operator would suffer greatly smoothing out hot blacktop on a hot summers day with no shade in sight. Ice water would be your best friend. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

Just goes to show how versatile the G is. We never did that involved a modification but we used them for a lot of "other" jobs and rebuilt them to do it. Good Luck! Bill Long
