is that flywheels in side the wheels?

[Cletrac]

Yep!

[scotty2307]

@1944johndeerel Really is an elegant solution. Keeps center of gravity low and convenient place to have the flat belt pulley without needing a hole in the cowl.

[1944johndeerel]

@scotty2307 yeah but getting the crank shaft in the center of the drive axle? that must have taken some real clever minds to pull that off and have it be something that wouldent fail soon after leaving the factory.

does it work by the engine going to the flywheel 'whats in the wheel", is it a set of planeteries in it?

[GermanBeez]

man, thats cute!

Interesting construction... ^^

[Matt40ist]

Really ingenious design, imagine it'd be a little tough to work on though.

Anyone know anything about beeman tractors, mines almost the same as the one in the vidieo.

@scotty2307 Not to mention instant wheel weights, without having to add wheel weights! Just don't get around any heavy brush that one of those flywheels could fling back at you. :-O

Pardon my stupidity, but what is the point of this piece of equipment? I could understand if it had a rear hitch for towing or a front mounting plate, but I don't see anything of the sort. Am I just missing something?

SWEET! Thanks for posting this!

Yo dawg i heard you like spinnin rims and flywheels....

[Copperswilly]

Is that the gears you can hear as it goes around kinda like a grinding sound...cool machine
