That could be fun... or deadly with the wrong gear ratio!

I don't really see anything turning that seat, why the heck is it spinning so fast at a low speed?

I would definitely have to be the guy driving and not riding in that case. lol

*Edit*. Never mind, I think maybe that seat is connected to the gears in that axle.

It's a truck rear end with the U-joint yoke pointed upward, which the seat attaches to.

If you look closer you'll see the axle pointed upward. Recognized it right off the back, lots of ol timers used old rear truck axles and built seed spreaders out of them, this one just has a seat bolted on it. If you don't know what I'm talking about I can snap a pic of one, I know its around here somewhere.

I understand where your coming from. I was looking for a shaft running from the quad to the actual axle.

There is a video on the net somewhere of a guy using his quad to sling shot this poor lady like 50 feet in the air. I'll find a link real quick.

*Edit* Here is the link, not sure how you embed videos, maybe someone can help me out here.

Yeah, don't underestimate a bored redneck in a junkyard, you will be surprised at what you see.

Watch this one, ROTFLMAO,
Too many "F" bombs

It has foul language in it though.

Not sure how to go about posting it, maybe someone can help.


Thanks,


Tim

5.11's and put 44's on it. WOW that would be way to insane.
