Mike_H Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 You need a special rotary union coupler device. Its made from unobtainium. They are VERY expensive new, but I see them on Ebay from time to time for pennies on the dollar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokon2813 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Take the gears out of the diffs and it should spin in circles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeES Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I see that it is a variable/shuttle drive- "varuttle". Varuttles are tricky to steer, you put the shuttle into reverse at the same time you push the variable forward and ...no wait I think that is how you do an instant high speed reverse. Maybe you put the variable transmission into reverse, while pulling the shuttle into reverse, and the whole works spins around...I think.

Brettw Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Perhaps a power steering ram and setup to have it articulate at the pivot? How are you going to power the BGB's with the way they are set up? Edited November 1, 2016 by Brettw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Two rams, criss-cross, push -pull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acken Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 It was just a way to store extra rear ends. This way I can still roll them around, and not have them tip on their nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Hribar Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I put two cub cadet hydro rear ends together one in front of the other cub hydros have input and output shafts mine drives thru the rear of one and out the input shaft a PTO shaft with two universals drives the second hydro thru the output shaft i have two hydraulic pumps one on front rear end input shaft to power loader second one is mounted on 23 hp Vanguard this drives the steering valve that powers two steering cylinders it moves the whole rear end very difficult to sync front and rear transmissions especially when turning had foot control for forward /reverse too touchy have hand control now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how Power Trac does it - a ram on each side, at an angle.... But be aware that hydraulic steering wheel valves are quite expensive.,. much more so than joystick loader valves, for example.
