Stormin 4,458 #27 Posted August 25, 2014 If made as a detachable unit easily changed back to four wheels as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-101plowerpower 548 #32 Posted August 25, 2014 Awesome idea on the half tracks, have been thinking of doing something like that, just don't have the funds and space/time to do it if made as an detachable unit maybe let us know what the costs are(i might be interested in a set ) Koen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diggerjames 543 #33 Posted August 25, 2014 I will mate upto now the tracks and sprokets have cost £250 . Which is a bargain really as they are all brand new Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanwhittaker 50 #34 Posted August 25, 2014 If you run the sprockets off the hubs then when you turn the diff will kick on and should turn easily or am I Wrong ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #35 Posted August 25, 2014 I think that's the plan Nathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanwhittaker 50 #36 Posted August 25, 2014 I can't see why he would need extra breaking too help with the turning it should turn ok I would of thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diggerjames 543 #37 Posted August 25, 2014 You are right Nathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanwhittaker 50 #38 Posted August 25, 2014 What you could do is lift it up use the top sprocket as the drive sprocket and make your idlers be the bottom two but you would have to lift front too unless you make it a hot rod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diggerjames 543 #39 Posted August 25, 2014 That's what I though make a new front axle etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanwhittaker 50 #40 Posted August 25, 2014 I wunt of thought u would have too make a new axle just modify steering and the pivot point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #41 Posted August 25, 2014 I think you will need turning brakes... Or a lot of weight on the front Ian knows all about trying to make things turn 1 diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diggerjames 543 #47 Posted August 25, 2014 Thank you little brother ! Might put a pair of disc brakes on it will aid in steering especially in the wet When I get to have away in the work shop we will have a plan won't we Nathan ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
