went by the track they have set up for Get Her Done etc. I walked on in and talked to the folks. Joe was fixing the front knucle that his wife Melissa blew out, she drives them he builds them. She broke the spindle, drive shaft, u joint and the hub. The axles are off the big military rigs but the knuckles and hubs are off front end loaders that they mate to the truck diffs. the outer axle is stock but they have to make the inner axle, they do this by shortening the original axle drill out the ujoint yoke and then splining the inside of the yoke and the axle, heat treat and put it back together with a cotter pin. The splines are course not fine. the axle did not break at the spline but everything else did.

Very interesting how they rig these, looks like some sort of direct drive transmission that chain drives down to a copling that goes to the front axle, both axles are steering axles, the gearing is in the loader hub.

Never seen one up close
