Are you serious dude, that thing is awesome. I just noticed the rear differential. That's a pretty big pumpkin. What did it come off of, and how did you mod it to work?
lol, it is off a 1990's ford transit van! I dont think it will break! :thumbsup:
What i did was cut the axle tubes down to length with a grinder, removed the half shafts, cut the halfshafts shorter and welded them back together (they are 1 1/4" dia, with a good weld prep on them too) so plenty of strength in them for this garden tractor! I then made some steel bushes for the shafts to run on, with brass bushes and a grease nipple, and welded a sleeve on the halfshaft (to stop it comming out) before welding the bushes onto the end of the axle tubes. Quite simple, but effective. I dont think wear will be a problem on this thing! and if it ever did wear i can always re-bush :thumbsup:
The diff is packed with grease, and there is a grease nipple on top to add more as and when required.
