The local implement dealer has an old massey forklift like you are describing (only 2 wheel drive). I am pretty sure that it is factory, but I do know that it works really well and is easy to see what you are doing.

That is quite an ambitious project, but you seem to be determined, so judging by what you've got done so far I have no doubt you will pull it off.
I don't have much to offer but encouragement :thumbsup:

Now that's cool!:thumbsup: Not sure what you can do with it... put a loader on it maybe?
I cant take all the credit for that lil articulating deere, i found pics from one on the net a guy made and i jus built from his pics make up my measurements as i went. I was planning on putting a 3cylinder diesel in with a small turbo i have but had to put that engine in my 330 deere garden tractor cause it blowed up, and i dnt like push mowing lol. Im jus goin put a 3 point and maybe lil blade on it and play with it i got big farm tractors and a 450 dozer and kubota trackhoe to do real wrk

My 1900 has the same trans as your 1700. It goes pretty fast in 4th reverse. What are you trying to gain.I think the final drive ratio in 4th reverse is close to the ratio in 12 forward. When you say flip the ring gear are you talking about fliping the whole center section. I love your ambition. I like to build thing just to say i did it.

Im jus wanting to gain lil more gearing options goin backwards which will be my new forward. Im also wanting to make this look and seem as professional and factory looking almost in a sense. I took the ring gear out and flipped the whole ring gear and carrier with differential(spider gears) over which put the ring gear on the left side of pinion gear( looking from rear of tractor). The pinion turns counter clockwise( lookin from rear) so this now makes the ring gear rotate forward which then turns another set of gears( bull gears in each axle housing) backwards inturn making tractor run in reverse. I also take pride in knowing i built something and can use it. I just enjoy building things, im young (24 yrs old) and work very hard for the things i have, and would rather build things or buy equipment cheap and fix up and resell or keep ( which is how i got most of what i got, and sometimes makes my girlfriend mad, lol i could be doin something to the house) I also work on equipment on the side, too.

Are you going to use hydraulic steering. I am curious as to how you are going to do the operators area for seat and petals. BTW we like pics of projects:thumbsup:
