I showed the video to Harley this morning and we played around a little:



It just so happens that I've got a pair of 150 gallon saddle tanks from a semi that are just about perfect size for one!

Hydraulic drive, twin side by side seating, low center of gravity.....Harley and I are determined to build one this winter!

In some shots, it looks like it is Henry Ford himself driving!

The Russians had one, too:

Good morning all.. Well Joe it is not warm here, raining here. But the weather liers say 80's by this weekend, we will see.

I know that the old truck is a bit dusty, but did y'all see the seat in that thing??? Not the best to drive on. One of the last times I did drive the old truck I hauled a yard and a half from Redmond in her. Was looking at the sky the whole trip.

Don, I seen that video a few years ago, if anyone can build one, it will be you and Harley.

Allen...Indiana will be 90's and high humidity all week and it isn't even JUNE yet!

SoCal is 70's and low humidity all week...

I'd take the 90's though to not have to be away from home!

I'm going to use hydraulic motors for the drive. I've got everything already, and that will let me control it with a joystick.
