I have no specs on it, I saw it maybe 3-4 years ago when I was at NDSU. It was a project for one of their classes. Mini portal axles are sweet:

Why is that? I don't see four wheelers with roll cages, and I am pretty sure you could mess yourself up more on one of those.

I have found out from some other places that its a 1/4 puller. Kind of like the SAE Baja for farm kids in the agricultural engineering programs.

Yup, definatley a puller, hand throttle and tow loop give it away.
Those look to be Kubota tractor front axles they're using... I am quite familiar with them in their stock app, no ideas about stregnth though.

Guess I see things different than you guys do, my first thought was that the inner fenders need to be solid rather than grill material so I don't get muddy.
