    I was in Sears the other day and saw a beefy rear axle on a tractor. Anyone ever hear of using it for a cowl steering setup? Is it possible? Do they have the correct ratio to steer a car? I saw the tech post on reversing the steering box and mounting it for cowl steering and it got me thinking.
