Interesting, and I was in Ft. Wayne just a couple of weeks ago and didn't see any.
Could be made to work, but still going to have to move the step.

Interesting concept for sure but IF it were robust enough for our application I'd guess gear ratio selection would be non existent . The narrow width could probably be adjusted with CV's but I'd guess the chances of finding the parts is about as likely as Washington reducing spending. Laughing
