Thanks OldTech!
I did a LOL when I saw the video there you embedded. I talked to that guy a while back on the phone for about an hour. He is WAY more knowledgeable than I on all things mechanical!
It really was pretty clever how he used the transmission. It actually involved some complicated drilling and powering things from the odd ends.
His fork truck looks pretty familiar.
This is the one I took apart in my driveway this January. I always thought its motors would be good for a cycle. Glad to know somebody else is using the exact same parts!
If you are into weird projects, take a look at my
conversion.
Things are starting to get interesting.
