I'm curious about their 'front wheel' drive train.

Would like to know who the front axel mfgr is, and can anyone summarize the design layout ?

Thanks ! Tim

Hey Pete,

Thanks, but these sites don't go into any description of the front drive 'layout'.

I've not had the opportunity to look at one of these in the flesh. But from what I've been able to gather, the engine is 'fore and aft', with a 545 tranny. I was just wondering if they 'looked' back forward into a standard diff, or what ?

Hello Tim.

Standby, I'll see if I can get an accurate description for you. Had lots of them here in Toronto.

It is a heavy duty piece of goods.

happy coaching!
