Chain Drive

This would be a silent, smooth as silk transmission. Just like the chain on my shed roller door or the anchor windlass on a cruise ship that wakes people at the stern 200 metres back. Certainly strong.



 

Is that on a tractor?

Four wheel drive tractor.......very few made ,more like a large cross country car............equal sized wheels ......and not much good ,by the look of it.

The chain drive lets the axles pivot on the frame for steering.......a conventional side plate chain isnt flexible sideways ,but that one is flexible to allow turns................clever idea ,but cant have been much good .

Here is the full story. It appears that they were quite successful continuing for years with good sales.
