I know a farm where we could find a use for that. |
|
Out of interest, any idea how it's steered? We were talking |
|
about building a rubber tracked one from an old tractor, but the |
|
steering problem (if we used a tractor chassis) looked the most |
|
challenging... |

It depends who made this conversion. It's in all likelihood only |
|
a Ford skid-unit, the rest of the conversion being built by |
|
another company; possibly 'Difco' or 'Barth GB' who were based |
|
in Maplethorpe. Barth GB specialised in plant for drainage, |
|
bog-work, etc. |
|
Braking will probably be by 'disconnecting' one track from drive |
|
and braking to steer that side; usually requiring plain crown |
|
wheel and pinion rather than a diff, with a super-heavy duty |
|
clutch and brake mechanisms on each side between the 1/2 shafts |
|
and the drive sprockets. |
|
Interestingly the unit doesn't appear to be articulated either, |
|
suggesting the vehicle is designed for low speed use on flat (or |
|
rather, even) ground. There's probably a reduction box between |
|
the gear box and the rear axle, giving super-low ratios. |
|
You could steer a home-made one using a conventional diff and |
|
independent wet disc brakes, but you're likely to damage the |
|
diff. Fitting smaller diameter drive sprockets will help due to |
|
the resulting reduction in torque, but you will lose, err, |
|
torque. |

It's gay anyway. I remember when those peat mosses near Gretna |
|
used narrow gauge railways! |
