onlyinajeep726 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 That's pretty bad @$$ if I do say so myself. I like that it's powered by the 225ci Slant-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Could anybody tell if those screws were counter rotating or not? I really couldn't tell but I think they were. I've got a bunch of screws used for loading wheat, corn into silos. Just may be,,,,,,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I've seen a similar setup on 20's or 30's cars being used by postal vehicles to get through snow in some of the northern states. It's pretty cool, but I don't imagine it would do too well over anything other than soft terrain. Jim, the screws would have to be counter-rotating. If they were both turning the same way, the vehicle would want to scoot itself along sideways. Although it looks like the screws can be independently reversed, as they are both turning the same direction in the shot of it going sideways — that or one of them was freewheeling.

a4xnut Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I bet the environmentalists would go into siezures if these were more popular! There's more varieties here and it sounds like the idea goes back to at least 1868. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
