Ok guys, i`m building the Quadrotrac for several years now, and i can`t see when i`ll finish it. So i decided i need something simple just to drive around. Since i can`t use the Motodog any more i found a victim pretty fast :
The idea is to build a little tractor like thing, really easy and without rocket science, so there`s a chance to actually finish it. First mockup:
Cut everything off that i don`t need anymore:
Here`s the secand transmission that`ll go in. This gives me 18 forward and 6 reverse gears:
Here`s the input shaft:
Turned a flange with a register for the sprocket:
Flipped it around and turned a register for the input flange:
Transfered the holes:
Put it together nice and tight:
And welded it on:
The output sprocket is really beaten up, but i need the inner splined section. Btw. i know that the case is cracked. Someone repaired it a long time ago and it wirked fine since then. Since i said no rocket science i`ll leave it just like it is. Wait, maybe i`ll run some beads over the crack...:
It`s hardened so i put it in the oven to anneal it. :
Then i mocked up the front transmission mount:
Need to build th axle fist before i can start on the frame, so i cut off the drive sprocket from the Motodog:
Cleaned it up:
Flipped it around and turned down the other weld bead:
And pressed out the axle:
Then i reamed the hole:
Here`s everything that`ll be mounted on the axle:
Turned a flange for the brake disc:
All the finished axle parts:
