Title: Ackerman steering/front axle blueprint. Can anyone provide it?
Post by: HutchMachine on July 29, 2021, 04:40:25 pm

There was an old raving mower steering blueprint floating around. Does anyone have it. I have to fabricate my own steering. I can?t afford to buy pre built. There used to be blueprints floating around d online, but hopefully someone here can provide it.

Look up "Bazzas Backyard Budget Buils for Billy-Bob" (it is spelled wrong, i just copied and pasted  here) In this forum. look for video 2. He does a good job of explaining it. I think it might be what your looking for.

Here?s the start of my axle. I?m concerned about the design of this guys spindle design/kingpins. I would think they need bearings inside. Wouldn?t the spindle need to be chromoly as well? He doesn?t specify what that threaded piece is he uses. Anyone have any suggestions? Also I can?t post my pics? They are jpeg.
