Guest guest Posted October 18, 1999 Report Share Posted October 18, 1999 I could send you plans of our power unit but it may frustrate you because it is an antique originaly used to dress flax. If I was to start again I would simply half bury the rear axle of a lorry or van and take the drive off that. As you said you could practically power anything off it, just a matter of gearing it up. The rear axle of a lorry will give you the 90 degree turn you need. This idea was suggested to me and I also saw it in a book. it is very easy to find the rear drive axle of a lorry or van in any country in the world. There will be some work to do in the axle because of the vehicles differential but it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt. Incidently if my unit breaks severely this is what I intend to do. I don't want to insult your inteligence but I have attatched a very simple drawing of a rear axle burried in concrete. The rest I am sure you will figure out. If I can help any further please do not hesitate to ask. ys Syamasundara dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
