Re: pic: 8wd 6 cim WCD with PTO
Looks sweet. I have a few questions though.
Can you pull the gearbox from the drive-train without removing the belly pan? I say this because a few gears and the frame of the gearbox appear to hang below the belly pan. These gears would prevent you from sliding the gearbox in and out in one piece. If you allowed the whole thing to be removed without taking it apart you could build up a spare that you could swap in with little effort to allow you to trouble shoot your main if you did not have time to in between matches.
Can you extend the belly pan to connect at a few points in the middle in between the edges of the gearbox and the outside 1x2? It looks like right now you can not due to the belts hanging below your belly pan but if you did extend it out to the edges more it would act as as sheer plate and greatly improve the frames strength.
Can you offset the bearing holes on your drive axles towards the top of the 1*2 to allow for the belly pan to extend out if that's the case? I dont know how large the od of your pulley's are so its hard for me to tell from your picture. This would sacrifice ground clearance in order to do so although not by much. If the field is relatively flat that might not even be an issue and it will make you less susceptible to tipping from rapid acceleration.
Good work keep it up!
