Is it possible? To turn a chevy rear end into a brush cutter/brush hog?
I've been thinking of turning a rear end axel differential into a drag style brush cutter. Turning the pinion and pointing it down and attaching a solid homemade blade to it, similar to a regular lawn mower blade except it would be 5 foot long. Basically the blade would turn when pulled and the wheels are turning. What are your thoughts and opinions? Do you think adding a grease zerk to the back of the differential housing to pump full of grease, instead of using oil would work?
What ratio should I use? Thanks for your input!
