This system is very unique to say the least!
OTT's Ben and Chris designed the differential to run upside down and backwards so that it would become front wheel drive unit. They also made allowances for the fact that the pinion bearing would need oiling from above and that the seal would be in danger if the pressure was too great. There was a solution, put a gravity drain bung at the top and a sump on the bottom to pick up the oil to bring it back to the tank. Aggressive Tube Bending donated a brass gear pump and Werner built a drive system using a winch motor and filter. We also built an oil tank and Kevin Knox of Diversions made the casing for the drive and laser engraved it with GOLDENHAWK.
