The Hoss 3x2 anything goes class

[bigrob]

I guess I am in lol

The name Hoss was my ex father inlaws nick name , he passed away over the holidays so it is a tribute to him

My build is an Offroad Segway looking beast

It will be a front drive trike with a caster wheel in the back

The front wheels are massive 22x11x 8 and the rear caster will be a 13x5x6

Twin front disk brakes for stopping and pivot steering

7hp 208 cc clone with torque converter

Let the fun begin !

Ambitious build! Will be interesting to watch!

Thanks for the offer, but the shipping would be more than what I can pick them up for localy lol

Going to have to get the bender out , have some 1" tubing from other project to use for frame

Rob,
Looks like a fun project will be following this build. I don't think I'm seeing the skid steer part as you have one solid axle or is this just for mock up.
Good luck.

Peerless I think.

Rob, I know that's a new axel but they have been sitting around a long time :doah: I would open it up and clean it out and use new Bentonite grease https://www.OldMiniBikes.com/Tecumseh-788067C-Peerless-Transmission-Grease.html

Thanks guys , I have to disassemble the differential to mill some keyways on the axles for the brake disks and will give it a good cleaning and lube

I followed the link for the lube , is it any different that 90 weight gear oil for cars and trucks ?

Yes it disperses water where regular grease will retain it, regular grease starts coming right out of the axels(trust me) and 90 weight will piss right out :doah: I have done 3 diff's from the bottle I bought and could probably do atleast 2 more :thumbsup:

Rob.....always a pleasure following along on one of your wild builds!! :thumbsup:

 

[chipper]

Got a bit started today and try my new set of transfer punches

I drilled and mounted the drive sprocket , slid the bearings and disks in place and then made some plywood cradles to use as a jig for mock up


My new transfer punches , they work great

Bolted in place with nylock nuts

The cradle jig and general layout

I now have some measurements that I can use to draw out the frame on graph paper
