Glen,
did Ed create the connection between the two drives at the final drive pinion or at the bull gear level? (or something else. Those units are so close together it almost looks like they would have to be at the pinion level). I think the technical write-up on this specific build will be very interesting. I hope there's lots of photos - it'd cost a few hours of labor to disassemble to get a shot of the flux capacitor that we missed on the first build ; )
Cheers,
Neil

mog5858 - I think those are the standard 2U series sprockets on both side. Those are non-hunting tooth sprockets with the mud clearing divider in each valley where the bushings never hit. If you go back a page or so of posts, there is a picture of the left side of the machine and you'll see that both sprockets are the same.

Hi, Glen.
My hat is off to the whole team. That is a magnificent machine, a real credit to all concerned, and I look forward to seeing it 'in the flesh' - metaphorically speaking - next year.
Thanks for sharing.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

That last picture answers my question : ) Obviously no center bull gear there. Looks like there's room for a second CCU on the back for some scraper action!

Hey Neil,
We thought about putting a second CCU on it, but Rumor has it that there is such a long list of "E" Tickets Sold for rides room is needed. We thought that the control levers would get in the way of Paying Customers seating. The seat under the controls would only get "C" ticket pricing....
