Re: Open Differential theory of operation???
Hi Earle,
You may remember the old rear wheel drive cars, just spun the right
rear, that's because the engine torque twisted the left rear against the
ground like a lever, then lifted the right rear to lose traction. The
two to one differential action means about a quarter of the power goes
to the slipping tire, but then it doesn't have any traction, so it can't
even hold that, so we brake it.
If you want both tires to turn make a Lincoln locker:

Jeeps, or at least mine are Right Rear vehicles still Bill. That is why
they state in a 5 tire rotation that the spare goes to the RR with the
RR going to the RF and the RF going back to the spare. The three wheel
rotation on one side will balance the two wheel left side rotation for
wear.

Would a Miller or Hobart locker work as well or should I stick with Lincoln?
