| Ive thought of doing it before but never tried.
Some vintage tractor, I forget which, used a static chain and a gear rode against it to turn a single front wheel. Was pretty neat, wish I snagged a pic when i seen it. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

The old steam tractors used this kind of chain steering. ![steering - chain and sprocket steering IMG_5207-XL](https://photos.smugmug.com/San-Diego-DSLR-Group-Shoots/2007/AprilVista-Antique-Gas/i-vbCvBn6/0/XL/IMG_5207-XL.jpg) ![steering - chain and sprocket steering Img_30881](https://adventuresinag.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/img_30881.jpg?w=1000&h=) | |

| Yeah those old girls where usually all setup something like that. Really low ratio too, they gotta turn the steering wheel like a hundred times to get 'er to fully turn, hahaha! ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* Garden Tractor Collection: Allis B-110 x2, 710, 716, & 410 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic, G10 & 1668 Diesel Swapped - Cub 106, 124 & 1000/149 Frankentractor - Ford 120, LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss - Moto Mower 710-100 | |

| No this was different, it used roller chain welded in a half moon and had a gear turn around it. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| I tried running a roller chain on motors the way you are suggesting with the steering, a couple of times. I had to keep the chain really tight or would come off, and when the chain did stay on the sprockets you can hear the chain popping while it would come onto the sprocket because of the droop in the chain. Very unsettling noise it made. Ended up switching to belts both times I did it. I guess chains don't like running sideways. | |

| Could make a chain guard. Find some U channel aluminum, cut wedges out so you can bend it around. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| The cable style boat steering works good if you have cable guides to keep them in the pulley | |
