I know what it's from but not telling -so there! Keep guessing! Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: kustom on September 30, 2008, 07:54:24 PM its a diff
Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: kustom on September 30, 2008, 08:08:58 PM my guess.......some old wank garden-rotavator.......chain driven to extend [whatever is driven] away from engine.......and the 2 'utensils' are quite close together......so, rotavator?
Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: reliantman on September 30, 2008, 08:18:46 PM Is the the diff off his Raleigh tricycle?
Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: brock on September 30, 2008, 08:19:15 PM and me, I know., but probably disbarred from answering as I had to have it explained to me whilst holding it ! I do think it's a well tidy unit crying out to be used with a little 350 Triumph or similar in a super light weight trike.
Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: TwistedPatience on September 30, 2008, 08:51:35 PM Chain driven differential, might be stating the obvious now tho'
Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: toad on October 01, 2008, 05:19:30 AM yep its a diff from a 1950,s berkeley sports car rare as hens teeth i turned down an offer that would have bought me a brand new unit but as this is a 1,1 ratio im gonna use it to go with my new front end. which you lot have seen before ;D
Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: blair on October 01, 2008, 01:15:06 PM so theres no pedal back braking system then
Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: dracken1 on October 01, 2008, 10:44:00 PM i do know that front end however.
standard equipment on any bmw 1200 trike :D Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: toad on October 02, 2008, 04:47:44 PM i do know that front end however. standard equipment on any bmw 1200 trike :D [/quote yep thats the one ;D now deceased as you know. you wont believe the mess that front ends in wynne its not safe to use without some serious reworking of the stem and the axle mounts on the legs are devoid of the retaining grub screws :o Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: Manky Monkey on October 02, 2008, 10:06:31 PM The YodaMobile? Tis no more? I thought it was being rebuilt, stronger, faster, better than it was before.
Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: kustom on October 02, 2008, 11:43:40 PM by the dimensions.....
one would summise the following.. for an application that requires a modicum of torque, but slow speed the chain is the drive, so a motor with small gear would be situated close by...or a landwheel my suggestion is the centrally mounted gearbox to drive the metering mechanism off an old ground driven seedbox drill Title: Re: go on have a guess at this Post by: toad on October 04, 2008, 09:54:00 AM The YodaMobile? Tis no more? I thought it was being rebuilt, stronger, faster, better than it was before. im afraid the yoda mobile is no more. i wont go into details on an open forum as to why it was scrapped. the new yoda mobile is under construction and its gonna be a good,un last year i organised a little suprise for yoda through his own forum and we raised over £1100 towards the rebuild ;D this new trike has some bloody good engineering going into it and i cant wait to see the new front end theres some bloody clever peeps on this forum as i believe dracken did the design for the forks ;D |
