Looks pretty cool. Is it a military front? How do you match gearing to ground speed from front to rear? Is it driven by the PTO? ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

| Well, I see the PTO shaft for the front axle. Noticed that there are also two transminssions, how does that work? How about the IH rear weights? |

Looks like PS and there's a drive shaft coming from the rear area, assume pto. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

There is no PTO housing though, So I'm guessing one of the two tranny's drives the front, ant the other drives the rear. It probably has a differential from a WD in the front end, with some type of gear reduction somewhere, similar to the "double tractors" of the 60's ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

Now that I look at it, it looks like it has a WC tranny for the rear, and the WD tranny runs the front ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

| There were posts on this this winter. The front axle is from a 6000 series JD. I believe one tranny drives each axle. No hand clutch anymore. Added on hydraulics |

I'm surprised that 35hp will even turn both axles. ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |
