Project UTV

What's a posi set up? The rear axle is solid but front will be left open to help with steering.

The central diff will help with tyre scrubbing.

The steering was a lucky eBay find, they were listed as small tractor PTO

Hoping to get the sprockets on this weekend.

Then make the Ragb for engine

Thanks.

Posi or Posi-traction, General motors term for limited slip differential.

Dragracers on a budget using 9" ford diffs, would put stiff springs between the spider gears to create a limited slip.

Yamaha Big Bear ATV use 2 small clutch discs

Got a few updates on the UTV build. Got the steering sorted and sourced a peerless 5 speed gearbox. I have decided to use my 11hp b and s vertical shaft engine with the peerless gearbox as I cannot afford the torque converter and horizontal engine.





This is the jackshaft that will split the power to the front and back axle.





I am ordering the chain and sprockets so should have some progress on the drivetrain this week.

that looks reall nice on what u got done so far. what are u going to name her?

It looks like its coming together.

I should be mounting the engine this weekend, then I can sort out the clutch and gearbox location. Then sort the chains and sprockets out.

Hows the project going I can't wait to see it?

anything happening? or did the project die?
