Jay Wolf Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I have decided to lighten my garage. After moving vehicles around 4 times with my kitchen remodel. I realized I didn't have the Rokon out of the garage at all last year other than to used the trailer for the Lebanon show. So I have listed it on E-bay. AACA Junior, Senior, and preservation awards. I used it for my daughter to show while I showed something else, now she has moved on and has no interest in the Rokon.Item # 250572450191An inexpensive way to get into showing and AACA winner:)Other Makes : eBay Motors (item 250572450191 end time Feb-09-10 17:56:03 PST) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 That thing looks cool. Is it an electric motor in front? And how does the front brake stop both wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Wolf Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) No the cylindrical thing in the front is called a miter box, it is a small gear box that takes the power coming in the drive shaft and put it out to both sides. same in the rear, the rear takes power from the transmission and puts it out the the other side chain to drive the rear wheel and out the drive shaft to run the front miter-box. the front miter box runs the front wheel via a chain and the other side has the disk brake that stops both wheels. The drive shaft has a one way clutch in it so the front wheel can go faster than the rear wheel for turns.A miter-box is like a lock differential.

JACK M Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Very interesting. Just when I had thought I had seen it all. I am surprised that I have never seen one of these.The front drive shaft must be inside of the frame.Thanks for the explanation.

Jay Wolf Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 the shaft runs in side the frame and has a slip join in the rear and a u-joint in the front for steering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Wolf Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Two days to go, 180 watchers but no real money bid on it. Looks like all I have looking at the Rokon is bargin hunters. I bet it's the cheapest way to get in to a vehicle that can win an AACA First National award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Wolf Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 One more day left on the auction, it has had almost 4300 views and has 215 watchers but it still $185 short of the reserve, I still $3K would be about the cheapest way to own a senior winner.
