300 build

jgmood050 · .

i think im going to run a brute diff and a bayou 400 front i know its going to be a mutt
but im a custom build type person.

as far as the drive line the 300 engine is mounted ridgid so it wont move
and there should be no need to use a slip shaft.

i think that a flange built to bolt on the output shaft and the diff will work best

it would eliminate any wobble in the cv cups
all one would need is an outer and an inner the weld another flange to each
and have it counter sunk into each other to eliminate any excessive runout

the inner would flex enough to make it adjustable and i think that would
combat any chance for vibration.

The only thing I thought about doing different, was use outer joints for both ends. If the drive length was exact, then when you slid the diff in and mounted it, it would be that much more rigid. My .02

we need a lathe

4 real!!!!!

got the brute diff today ill have to twist the diff to make it work it has the same rotation as the 300 so i cant flip this one either my drive shalt will have 10 degress at each ujoint or cv on the drive shaft. i think i can make it work though

jgmood050 · .

I was going to ask about that cage being bent different but if thats the way its got to be get to it.

jgmood050 · .

left side is like that to clear the trunk

jgmood050 · .

any thing but a 300 its too unsymetrical
i think i could do it but i believe that i would waste too much pipe
getting it right because the left side has to bend up at 90* then over and back to the left in the next bend and then back right.

what im thinking of doing is bend me a 90* and cut it into the bottom then smooth the weld out with a blending disc. yeah i know its cheating

glad you posted red i sure appresiate you info

jgmood050 · .

here is a better side view

pondhopper1 · Headcutters DADDY

Lookin good. Why you got the stockers on the Ranchers?

gordon fabrications · Senior Member

that looks sharp. I'm going to build one for my buddy and i'm going to bend the bottom tube it looks alot better. Nice work

jgmood050 · .

the trick is to bend slowly and kinda move it back
and forth in the die
i screwed up a couple before i got one that
would work

jgmood050 · .

a new shock mount im thinking of running on the 300 i figure
the rancher has enough power to find the weak links
and the mounts on it are ugly so ill use it as the test dummy
ill get some better pics tomarrow Caleb

i gave it a little suspension and i can still clear the turners

gordon fabrications · Senior Member

so are you running dual shocks or are you cutting off the the top mount. The bottom look real slick thats going to clean it up alot.

jgmood050 · .

ima cut the old one off

Head Cutter · Pondhopper sucks balls!!!!!

Lookin good man. I say go with it!

jgmood050 · .

the way i had it was rigid stiff
from what i can tell this would limit the amount of travel in the rear@3"
which is enough for a good ride
and isnt as stiff as the old mount.
im worried about the torq applied to the upper a-arm but i can brace that

it looks similar to an artic cat other than upper mount

jgmood050 · .

i got the front diff mounted finally confuse

im ready to start the a-arms

gordon fabrications · Senior Member

put it to it, this is going to be something to see when its all done

jgmood050 · .

i should have ran one solid tab like the 500 foreman
but i wanted to move the back one forward
to clear the tie rod

jgmood050 · .

probably look cleaner too
how ya coming on the house

gordon fabrications · Senior Member

after looking at it now i agree with red those brackets are close you might as well make it a solid mount. how big are you making the lift too?

jgmood050 · .

see its only about a half an inch narrower than a rancher its a little over six inches
but i think it will look better with one bushing

....lol about an inch taller than yours biggrin

......

na probly gunna try for twleve may go with a 10 idk yet
