I wonder if there would be a way to hook a linkage so that when you pushed on the brake pedal it would push the hand throttle in and still allow the brake pedal to travel further.
he might have used high angle driveshafts and full length slip-shafts to make that work.

maybe?
no i haven't. I am at college right now in eastern washington and am just not ready for the undertaking yet. haha. I am hoping the in the next few years to start a different project for a daily driver: 1994-98 dodge 2500 cummins 4x4 witha 6-speed. Then i would have a vehicle that could move...
No i think he is looking at the ones from that guy in tenino. He bought a lot of them and is selling them off for 3500 each. all run. one guy on here picked up the only W/W he had.
sounds good, i need some barbeque pork and some hot chinese mustard with sesame seeds to clear my sinuses. lol
Got quite a few good chinese places around my house. a couple good thai places too.
One thing that I don't know has been brought up yet, is the lack of lateral stability when both wheels start to spin on ice. with one wheel spinning the other one will basically hold you from sliding sideways. when you lock them together you lose that. so if you do it. watch yourself in the ice...

put those on the back and some regular super singles up front and you would be in business.
if you were just going to use it on the farm for farm work, you could register it as a tractor and put tractor tires on it! I know that is not what you plan on doing but it would be sweet to see a deuce on some reasonably sized tractor tires, unlike this one.
A selectable locker would allow the diff to either act like a spool or an open diff.
Aren't they a direct drive geared transfer case? how could that slip?
I agree. a selectable locker would be nice so you could make those tighter turns even without steering brakes.
Does the deuce transfer case not split the power 50/50? I thought it would. You might look into an atlas II transfer case because they have either 2wd, 4wd, front or rear...
