My Ford FW-60 Project

Looking good. I need to get me a few of these tractors to convert. Any binding or issues with the rear driveshaft. I thought most 1:1's had the ujoint inline with the articulation joint.

It's hard to see in the pics but the center of the u joint pin is right in line with the center pivot. It has no binding issues at all and seems like it will do good at its location. There is hardly any flex in the rear shaft at all forwards and back at any angle of turning.
