Dis ain't no aircraft, its afriggin tractor. But l know whatcha mean. I used to make some special aircraft bearings for the DOD. For every pound of bearings was 2 pounds of cerificates, inspection logs, material orrigination forms and various other paperwork.

This week on "hacks garage" we made a axle for the rear center section. Dats where the sprocket and brakes go. For now just the two rear brakes.
turning the axle to 1.625 to accept the hub with 2 rotors.
had to use that big spinna machime in the corner.
Den the hub was slid onto the axle and checked for clearance. Funny thing is the clearance is .050" at the skid plate.
l figgered out the axle centerline position and put the axle just high enough to give a little clearance to dem big brake rotors. I have two piston calipers for all four positions.
The MTL scrap pile comes to the rescue again!. Total expendature today $0.00

Math works! If ya wanna build jun... l mean cool stuff like this ya need to learn math.
Old school math but math just the same. We went to the moon, won world wars, built some amazing shyt using ols school math.

I gotta get me one of them spinner machines! For some reason, I always got in trouble in school when I used ours.
Side note: Teachers dont like when you try to turn a block of cheese.
It was quickly dismissed however, when 'ol Dexter tried to singe Nick's arm hair with the acetylene torch...
Sorry, what are we talking about. lol

The hub between the two rotors needs to be 1.75 thick to clear stuff and the calipers take up a buncha room. I don't mind gaining some weight in a trade off for durability.
Some weight might be welcome. The thing is going to be stupid fast and the top end (on paper) is easily into tripple digits. the grandbrat with a lead foot is the end user. A 12 yo that only knows flat out driving? Weight might slow it down some.
Anyhooo, back to the hub. I put some random speed holes innit!
