Hey Darryl, do the drive shaft directions of the hydros spin in the same directioin(clockwise looking at the diff from the drive shaft input) or did you have change the direction of one of the hydros? Did you need to flip the ring gear in the front diff? Sweet tractor, does it pull well? Are there any sycronization probs?

Here are the photos of Darryl Schmidt's cool 4x4 articulated Cub.

Here's a link to a video I took of Darryl's articulated. I asked him how it handles uneven ground so he drove it up onto a rock, only rock we could find close by, to show me and a few other guys how the articulation worked. I think Darryl was afraid he might run over Vince Thomley's leg, I however think that might have been an even better demonstration.

Charlie, thanks for making the link!
