I built a tractor / mud buggy this way using a Honda Civic motor with the auto trans (welded diff) and a set of full size chevy diffs (also welded) but I offset both pinions to the right. Loads of torque and a top speed of 30 MPH.. works awesome.

That thing is cool! Now you need a captains chair from a conversion van, some cup holders, and a rear facing bench seat for passengers. :D

Thanks, thats exactly what I had in mind!
However, see the flow? I guess I would need a pretty big pump to run that.:confused:

That motor develops about 29 HP, and the pump used to drive it would take about 34 HP to drive the pump, that is assuming a pump to motor efficiency of 85%

If the motor can turn 2500 rpm, to pump 17 GPM would require a pump of 1.6 cu in. If the motor can run faster, the pump displacement can decrease down to 1.1 cu in

My engine is 50HP so I should be good to go, if I decide to do that?
