Our latest, you have too much time on your hands ' as my Dad would have said, project. We will be updating / improving it as time permits. 28.1 x 26 R20 rear tires, flipped finals, lower front. CA is for reference. Stock 45 engine . Runs about 18 MPH... for parades and shows... every had seen 88 olivers and B deeres but this.... is a tad unique... :-) ------------- When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money.. |

T-Bran,Thats kind of a cool concept for the WE after all the B' that have been made into 'low riders'. Those tires don't look exactly round on my puter... think I will try to get them wheels round for you...mmm, thats strange, when I go to make them round, they look round in the preview.   Well, they are smaller now. Do you have enough clearance to put the snap coupler back on? ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

Actually, no... we are going to install a school bus seat on the rear for parades... and when we flipped the finals - we also realized the probably oem leather seals were not up to the job - EP-0 seems to be holding - with a rag stuffed in the hole for temp display.. :-) Will be installing some type of power steering - those wide tires are not conducive to EZ steering a low speeds or stopped. I took it for its maiden voyage down the bypass - nearly caused a wreck due to rubber necking... one trucker pulled up at a stop and rolled the window down and yelled "what the he(( is THAT ?" ------------- When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money.. |

Yeah, I'm certain it probably doesn't like to steer well... did you alter the caster and camber to compensate for the tire's scrub radius? How do you have it geared- stock, or have you altered it for more 'road' speed worthy? ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem.

well the camster and casber varies with each pot hole - the scrub radius does occur if the front end is lifted off the ground... he he.... the gears are stock - we think,,, havn't looked to see if they are straight cut or helical....hope never have the need to... but seriously it does drive straight with out wandering all over the place.. fun ride. ------------- When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money.. |
