I wouldn't mind having one like this but I gotta ask....How does a drive shaft that short have enough movement not to come apart or crash out when the middle axle articulates?

Is it just me, or does it look like it's missing a brake system on the rear axle? Maybe it's just the angle of the photo...but that looks weird.

It looks interesting but I bet the thing is hard to turn with all that rubber in the rear fighting you. I also don't like the fuel tank in the bed, even though there isn't a whole lot of alternatives. I would hate to have to climb up in the bed with a fuel hose every time I stopped for fuel.

You gotta admit, the fact that there are lots of good deuces available these days leads people to invent some interesting MV variants! I like it!

Definitely looks cool. Bet it rides like a buckboard though....as if they don't already...

did anyone ever figure out about the drive shaft issues with running a duel setup this short?

I bet the wheelbase is close to that of a 275.
IMO shafts w/ double cardon joints could deal with the angles during articulation

Just a thought, but perhaps it started out life as a -275 tractor? If so, I doubt there would be any problems with the flexing...

Love it! This was one of my thoughts also. Just as much work as a single bob though.
I bet it'll crawl over most anything.
Put a Step tank on it!
I want to know about the axle articulation,
does the drive shaft drop out if they move too much?
Love the roll bar. I want to build one so the cross member rolls the lights down when not in use.
Where would you find a 275 tractor today, I haven't seen one.

You must not be looking in the right places. There is one on egay right now.
Heck, even this truck keeps showing up on there.
