I have found a lot of conflicting info, but this site seems to have a pretty
good take on the BW 1339 Quadratrac,
http://www.frontier.net/~mystkblu/quadratrac/index.htm
I may use it, and it gets the low ratio .5 lower than the D20. This rig is a
one-owner with 67 K miles on it.

As for the frame, it's not fully boxed like the Jeepster, but I can fix
that, and probably find another Chero frame to cut matching pieces from.

According to the web site the Quadratrac case does have a locking
differential, so in principle it should be fine for off road use.
Availability of parts could be worrisome though. But many people enjoy the
thrill of the parts hunt.

I think i will go for it. It solves the problem of an off-side diff to a
center output, and i can always go back to the 20.
