Re: pic: How?

Perhaps this is a late April Fools joke.

At GTR last weekend, we made the move to switch from our 4 wheel rear wheel drive, to 4 wheel skid steer drive. The way our drivetrain is designed, it relies on the "center" wheel's central hub. We didn't have the time nor parts to make an appropriate spacer, so we just cut it apart on a bandsaw.

We have two of these.

So shenanigans it is!

It was pretty obvious the spokes were cut on a band/hack saw and not the result of the typical failures seen on prior AM/Skyway wheels. The hand covering a significant portion of the outer tread reinforced that.
